1 Exploring the Depth Coral Reefs, Mapping and Monitoring Dr Chris Roelfsema School Of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management
2 Our Aim To introduce you to the world of coral reef monitoring on the ground and from space How remote sensing imagery can be turned into valuable spatial information.
3 Outline What's a Coral Reef? Values and Threats Monitoring (in water and from the sky)
4
5 Coral Reef Types Barrier
6 Coral Reefs Types Lagoonal Fringing (Lizard Island, GBR, Australia)
7 Coral Reefs Types Oceanic Fringing (Morea French Polynesia)
8 Coral Reefs Types Platform (Heron Reef) Photo Source: Prof. Justin Marshall
9 Coral Reefs Types Atoll (Reefs, Coral Sea)
10 Reef Geomorphic Zonation Coral Cay Lagoon Flat Crest Slope
11 Coral Reef System environments vary in specific spatial and information scales Reef Type km 2 km km m m Geomorphic Zone Benthic Community Biotope / Patch
12 Values (Biodiversity, Cultural, Economic)
13 Coral Reefs Environments have Important Ecological, Economical and Cultural values, but are threatened by human and or natural impacts. Values Coastal protection Nursery ground Biodiversity Fishing resources Recreation Carbon Threats Coastal development Run-off and Pollution Over-fishing Boating Bleaching Sea-level rise Cyclones
14 Healthy reefs need the right balance of sunlight, temperature, & water quality Managing and conserving our Coral Reefs requires scientist and managers to have information characterising these reefs in time and space.
15 Monitoring (in water and from the sky)
16 Reef Walking
17 Snorkelling or Diving Surveys Invertebrate Fish Coral, Algae Rubble, Rock Impacts Structure Chemicals Processes
18 Automated Underwater Vehicle Surveys Benthic Light Temperature
19 Sensor Characteristics Satellites capture imagery at different times, some every morning, or every 16 days, others only when its required
20 Remote Sensing Remotely monitoring the earth surface without direct contact. Passive remote sensing, capturing reflection of light on sensitive plate (Satellite image) you taking a photo of the boat Active remote sensing, sending a signal and translating the returned signal in to information (echo sounder) you are driving to fast you need to pay a fine
21 Remote sensing application to coral reefs and surrounding environments has become increasingly critical in monitoring environmental stresses to coral reefs and detecting changes in their environmental conditions.
22 Historical Research and Mapping of Coral Reefs 1. Mapping the ocean boundaries and coral reefs. (e.g. The Polynesians, Magellan, etc, ) 2. Early scientific investigations describing the coral Reefs (e.g. Cook, Darwin, etc, ) taking 3-5 years for their journeys
23 Remote Sensing of Earth Surface 1859 First Aerial Photo 1960 First Satellite observe clouds + temps 1972 Satellite Designed to look at earth surface Archive satellite imagery since 1978, each image took less then seconds to take
24 Google Earth combines remote sensing imagery with spatial data.(border of barrier reef)
25 Field Data versus Remote Sensing Data Only relative view square meters are assessed, but accurate Every square meter (pixel) that makes up an image is assessed, but relatively not as accurate However both will provide important information to help conserve the magnificent coral reefs
26 Different habitat map extent, scales & categories can be provided by object based image analysis
27 Sensor Characteristics Satellites capture imagery at different times, some every morning, or every 16 days, others only when its required
28 Fundamentals of Remote Sensing Each satellite image is made of millions of pixels Each image pixel contains a measure of reflected sunlight at specific sensitive layers bands (e.g. Blue, Green, Red, Near Infra Red) Reflected sunlight is scattered, absorbed, transmitted and reflected. Same as the photos you take
29 Cheese Cake and Remote Sensing Image(photo) Cheese Cake 1. is made of different layers 2. Each layer has another taste (e.g. strawberry, vanilla, cookies, whip cream, grape) 3. When taking a bite, it gives you the exquisite taste of something really nice Remote Sensing Image (Photo) 1. Is made of different layers 2. Each layer is sensitive for a specific light field (e.g. blue, green, red, etc etc 3. When combining the layers one can see the beautiful colours of the reef
30 Image Pre-Processing Preparing the cooking of Cheese cake 1. Buying the ingredients 2. Unpacking ingredients 3. Each ingredient has different preparation and role Pre-processing an Image 1. Taking the photo 2. Formatting the photo 3. Removing effects from the atmosphere and water Good pre-processing will lead to better taste. or information
31 ctral : Reflectance Spectral Signatures Collection Every feature on earth reflects light and has its own light reflectance signature One pixel on the ground Amount of light reflected Sediment Coral1 Coral2 Algae Blue, Green, Red, Light sensitive layer
32 Making the Cake Or Map Preparing the cooking of Cheese cake 1. The pre-processed ingredients will be mixed 2. The taste is tested in the process 3. Each gradient will be placed in a specific combination forming taste full combination Pre-processing an Image 1. Place layers on top in one image 2. Pixels are checked with field data 3. Group of pixels with same colour and texture are assigned a mapping category (e.g. coral, land)
33 To Map the Reef You need to understand what happens with Sunlight transmitted, scattered, absorbed and reflected in atmosphere, water column and bottom.
34 Light Path Changes from Air to Water (Features Look Bigger Underwater)
35 Marine Remote Sensing: Effects of water type 5 m Depth 5 m Depth Color Changes At Depth and Water Type (Features Look Less Color Full)
36 Light penetration is limited to water depth, red will be absorbed first and then blue (Divers and snorkelers, know it) Light Penetrates The Water Blue light Blue, Green, Red, NIR Light sensitive layer Red light
37 Water Depth Change The Color Of Sand When Looking From Above Water
38 Spatial scales: Spectral scales: Temporal scales: Mapping Process: Choice of Image Type Pixel size - area covered Number of light sensitive bands and location Acquisition frequency and revisit time e.g. On request Min. every 5 days 2 m pixel Blue, Red, Green e.g. twice daily 25 m pixel Light Blue, Blue, Dark Blue, Light green, Green, etc, etc
39 Field Monitoring Field monitoring is required to help make a map or to check the map Remember: When you make cheese cake you need to do some tasting of the ingredients to be sure its good.
40 Mapping Process - Field Data: Benthic & Substrate Surveys or knowledge used to describe what is on the bottom. Detailed survey Basic survey Local knowledge Expert knowledge
41 Every dot is an photo on the reef GPS towed by diver
42 Photos of the bottom, are assessed on cover of: Coral Algae, Seagrass, Sand, Rubble, Rock 200 m Yellow dots are photos
43 Benthic & Substrate Field Data Georeferenced Photo Transects 200 m Benthic Data Photo Analysis - benthic class - rugosity Photos+data: - Calibrate - Validate
44 Snorkeler vs Robot Depth 44
45 Spectral reflectance library collection to access bottom types can be differentiated with ideal optical remote sensor. Spectral Library Collection Cyano Bacteria Cyano Bacteria Spectral Reflectance Signature Digital camera for photo bottom type
46 Mapping Process Image Pre-Processing Pre-processing correction steps: 1. Radiometric 2. Atmospheric 3. Georeferencing 4. Water surface (sun glint) 5. Air water interface (Refraction) 6. Water column (water depth, chlorophyll, sediments) 7. Masking (e.g. land, clouds)

48 Simple Map: Drawing Lines Over Satellite Image
49 Simple Map: Digitising Lines and Adding a Class
50 What can you see on a map, You can find in the legend.
51 Assign category to each pixel based on colour Assign class to pixels that look the same Each group of pixels with a colour have a signature Field Data Satellite Image 100 m Check if there are any other pixels with the same signature Accuracy assessment
