New imaging technologies offer a clearer view of coral reef change
Researchers at the University of Miami are using new imaging technologies to better observe and measure changes in coral reefs. These technologies include drones flying above the waves and cameras placed just inches from the seafloor. They offer a clearer view of reef conditions than methods that were previously difficult or costly.
Why it's good news: It will help scientists more accurately understand and track the health of coral reefs, which are crucial ecosystems in our oceans.
