ResourceA system for routinely monitoring radiometric sea surface temperature
"A fully self contained, automated thermal infrared radiometer system is presented. The unit is mounted on a tourist ferry (the MV 2001), which travels between Townsville (Queensland, Australia) and Kelso Reef, on the Great Barrier Reef (a distance of abo...
ResourceClionid sponge surveys on the Florida Reef Tract suggest land-based nutrient inputs
"Bioerosion by Cliona delitrix and Cliona lampa was assessed at 43 sites along the Florida Reef Tract, USA, in the summer of 2001. Sponge abundances were estimated using rapid visual assessment. Tissue samples of sponges were taken for analysis of delta15...
ResourceIntercolony δ18O and Sr/Ca variability among Porites spp. corals at Palmyra Atoll: Toward more robust coral‐based estimates of climate
Quantitative estimates of natural climate variability are required to detect anthropogenic climate trends in the tropical Pacific; however, instrumental records from this region are too short and scarce. Coral oxygen isotopic (δ18O) and strontium to calci...

Reson 8101ER multibeam Data were collected in 10-13 Feb. and 18 Feb-13 Mar 2006 aboard NOAA Survey Launch Acoustic Habitat Investigator (AHI) in America Samoa at Swains Island, Tutuila and Rose Atoll during cruise AHI-06-02. These multibeam data were co...
ResourceWhere have all the carbonates gone? A model comparison of calcium carbonate budgets before and after the 1982-1983 El Nino at Uva Island in the eastern Pacific
"El Nino related coral mortality and a subsequent increase in crustose coralline algae and sea urchins have resulted in profound changes to the coral reef ecosystem at Uva Island, Panama (Pacific coast). New data and a model are presented that analyze the...
ResourceCoral health and disease assessment in the U.S. Pacific territories and affiliated states
Quantitative coral disease assessments were conducted at 40 different U.S. Pacific coral islands, banks, and atolls, spanning more than 5000 km apart and over a 40 degrees latitudinal gradient. Distribution and abundance of disease were determined based o...

ResourceModeling reef futures using a high resolution modular ocean model
Purpose/Need To effectively manage coral reefs under stress from climate change, accurate projections of coral bleaching and ocean acidification are needed. Currently global climate models operate on large spatial scales, often with resolutions coarser th...
