#UQ-led research has found the world's coral reefs are almost 25% larger than we thought 🌊
High-res satellite data is now allowing scientists to measure and map these vital ecosystems in detail.

@UQ_News @UQscience @mitchest Could not have happened with a great international collaboration a great team

[UQ News @UQ_News]

UQ-led research has shown there's more coral reef area across the globe than previously thought, with satellite mapping helping to conserve these vital ecosystems 🌊🛰️

Finally the main @AllenCoralAtlas paper is out! The paper acts as a scientific reference and summary of the ACA, including global reef extent, and the distribution of benthic and geomorphic class. Congratulations to paper lead @mitchest and the ACA team. https://t.co/oF8xdUPnZy

Dr Chloe Schauble & Christine Grant discussed the importance of engaging with Traditional Owners for the #RIMReP program at #AMSA23 “It is key to the success of RIMReP that Traditional Owners are meaningfully engaged in a mutually beneficial & culturally appropriate manner.”

[Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority @gbrmarinepark]

As we continue to celebrate #NAIDOCWeek, we take you back to our recent #TUMRA Workshop on Heron Island to hear from 22 Traditional Owners representing 11 TUMRA (Traditional Use of Marine Resource Agreement) groups. For more information, visit https://t.co/1OwxD5jfPt #LovetheReef

Reef real estate

You need a benthic maps to calculate it… @RSRC_UQ created them

Check out benthic maps for @gbrmarinepark https://t.co/rRGQwU1y6q or globally @AllenCoralAtlas @mitchest

Great talk at @amsa_marine by @KRNAnthony

Great to work with you on this great tool to help management of coral reefs. You made a difference pulling the co-founding partners together @RSRC_UQ @UQscience

New bleaching alert tool @AllenCoralAtlas , warned me that in parts of Indonesia, coral/algae areas have observed, increased brightness based on #sentinel2 satellite time series analysis and benthic maps @RSRC_UQ, @UQscience supporting monitoring and management of coral reefs.

Great to spent time with the team plotting plans for the future @RSRC_UQ @UQscience

[Heron Island Research Station @HIRS_UQ]

Always love a group pic with our awesome HIRS team!

[Chris Roelfsema @ChrisRoelfsema]

Check it out habitat maps specially fine tuned for @gbrmarinepark publicly accessible through GBRMPA reef knowledge system @aims_gov_au @CoralCoE @Coral_Watch @ReefCheckAus @AustCoralReefs @UQ_CBCS @RSRC_UQ @UQscience

[Chris Roelfsema @ChrisRoelfsema]

Always good to teach students about the applied earth observation based mapping and monitoring tools created for the @AllenCoralAtlas by @ASU @coral_org @InsideNatGeo @planet

[Dr Helen Bostock @HelenBostock5]

⁦@ChrisRoelfsema⁩ ⁦(and team) teaching #MARS3012 course @uq_sees about using remote sensing to study #coral reefs and other shallow water #ecosystems using the ⁦@AllenCoralAtlas⁩. A great resource for #teaching and #managing the marine environment.

Lots of happy students from todays snorkel as part of the subject Coral Reef Ecosystem’s on Heron Island @UTS_Science @UTSEngage @DilerniaNikki @_natashabartels

[Chris Roelfsema @ChrisRoelfsema]

Amazing place to visit, study reefs, work, conduct research, snorkel dive and relax. The birth place of the global coral reef mapping methods by @RSRC_UQ for the @AllenCoralAtlas.
