11.01.2022 You can now watch our recent lecture 'Where to begin with mapping the planet's coral reefs?' with Dr Emma Kennedy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzmT9i7qtPc&t=1s and on the Society's website at https://rgsq.org.au/pastlectures2020. Despite several attempts to capture the diversity and distribution of shallow water reefs since the 1800s, to date no reef map exists that offers complete global coverage at such a high level of geo-ecological detail. In this lecture, Dr Emma... Kennedy, covers in-depth the mapping of the planet’s coral reefs from space. #rgsqlectures #barrierreef #mapping See more
