The spectral absorption coefficients of phytoplankton in oceanic waters were previously
shown to vary with chlorophyll a concentration according to nonlinear relationships with a …

Coral reef communities face unprecedented pressures on local, regional and global scales
as a consequence of climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. Optical remote …

The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Marine heatwaves (MHW) are becoming stronger and more frequent across the globe.
MHWs affect the thermal physiology of all biological organisms, but wider ecosystem effects …

A multi-spectral classification and quantification technique is developed for estimating
chlorophyll a concentrations, Chl, in shallow oceanic waters where light reflected by the …

Endosymbioses between dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium sp.) and scleractinian coral
species form the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. The coral symbiosis is highly …

Assessments were made of the relative importance of package effects and pigment
composition in contributing to variations in spectral absorption in shelf waters off North …

Empirical algorithms for the total absorption coefficient and absorption coefficient by
pigments for surface waters at 440 nm were developed by applying a quadratic formula that …

Optical data collected in coastal waters off South Florida and in the Caribbean Sea between
January 2009 and December 2010 were used to evaluate products derived with three bio …

This study aims to understand the role of light transfer in triglyceride fatty-acid (TG-FA) cell
content and productivity from microalgae during nitrogen starvation. Large amounts of TG …
