New imaging technologies offer a clearer view of coral reef change

AI Summary

University of Miami researchers are using imaging methods ranging from aerial drones to seafloor cameras to document coral reef conditions. The techniques aim to make reef changes easier, faster, and less costly to measure.

From a drone flying above the waves to a camera just inches from the seafloor, University of Miami researchers are transforming how scientists observe coral reefs and measure changes that were once difficult, costly or time-consuming to document.
