This image represents a LiDAR (Light Detection & Ranging) 0.3x0.3 meter resolution depth surface for the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER), St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The image's horizontal coordinate system is NAD83 UTM 20 North....

This image represents a LiDAR (Light Detection & Ranging) 0.3x0.3 meter resolution relative seafloor reflectivity surface for the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). The image's horizontal coordinate system is NAD83 ...

Biological data collected from plankton collecting gear aboard the NOAA Ship NANCY FOSTER during cruise #NF0705, March 30th - April 10th, 2007 as part of the Coral Reef Ecosystem Research (CRER) project and from inshore larval collections in Brewer's Bay,...

This image represents a 0.3x0.3 meter principal component analysis (PCA) surface for areas the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). It was created by integrating eight topographic complexity surfaces (mean depth, standard...

The presence and absence of the four substrate and four biological cover types were documented at 1,353 locations on the insular shelf south of St. Thomas and St. John. At each location, an underwater camera system was used to collect high definition (HD)...

This 0.3x0.3 meter imagery mosaic of the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER), St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands was created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using a collection of orthophotos collected by the U.S. Army Corp...

Advances in 3D scanning and reconstruction techniques, such as structure-from-motion, have resulted in an abundance of increasingly-detailed 3D habitat models. However, many existing methods for calculating structural complexity of these models use 2.5D t...

The purpose of this effort was to characterize the extent and magnitude of chemical contamination in the St. Thomas East End Reserves or STEER, as part of a larger project to develop an integrated ecosystem assessment for the STEER. The STEER is a collect...

This data set contains the 2007 and 2012 classifications of St. Thomas and can be used to analyze change. This data set utilized CIR imagery captured from Microsoft UltraCAM X (2010-11 flights) and Z/I Imaging DMC-II 230 (2012 flights) digital sensors and...

The goal of this project is to operationalize repeat photomosaic surveys in order to develop robust approaches for modeling coral colony-level vital rates (growth, survival, and mortality). This involves conducting local field trials and statistical analy...
