Technical advancements have widened the limits of remote sensing in mapping shallow
water benthic habitats and bathymetry over the last decades. On the other hand, the needs …

The abundance and distribution of plastic debris in natural waters is largely unknown due to
limited comprehensive monitoring. Here, optical properties of dry and wet marine-harvested …

Symbiotic mutualisms are essential to ecosystems and numerous species across the tree of
life. For reef-building corals, the benefits of their association with endosymbiotic …

We developed a novel integrated technology for diver-operated surveying of shallow marine
ecosystems. The HyperDiver system captures rich multifaceted data in each transect …

Combating the imminent environmental problems associated with plastic litter requires a
synergy of monitoring strategies, clean-up efforts, policymaking and interdisciplinary …

We present a direct and proxy-based approach to qualitatively and semi-quantitatively
observe floating plastic litter in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) based on a survey …

The majority of corals acquire their photo-endosymbiont Symbiodinium from environmental
sources anew each generation. Despite the critical role that environmental availability of …

Knowledge about the optical features of benthic objects is essential for quantifying spectral
signatures, remote sensing-based mapping, and ecological monitoring in coral reefs …

The global decline of coral reefs urgently requires scalable colony‐level data about
phenotypic variation to improve coral conservation and management. To address this, we …

Coral reefs are the foundation of productive ecosystems in the global, tropical oceans and
are under threat from a variety of local to global scale stressors. Satellite imagery provides a …
