Researchers have completed an online map of the world's coral reefs(珊瑚礁). The map, called the Allen Coral Atlas,41. is thought (think) highly of because itcan act as a source of reference for reef conservation, ocean planning andcoral science as researchers try to prevent the 42.loss...
However, such maps are difficult to generate due to the broad geographic range of coral reefs, the complexities of relating satellite imagery to geomorphic or ecological realities, and other challenges. However, reef extent maps are one of the most commonly used and most valuable data products ...

51. As more data increasingly reveal the diversity and complexity of reefs, selecting an appropriate level at which to map reefs on the global scale requires balancing the need for a limited number of classes that can be mapped consistently based on available earth observation data, with user ...
Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They support high biodiversity of multicellular organisms that strongly rely on associated microorganisms for health and nutrition. However, the extent of the coral reef microbiome diversity and
The map project began in 2017. Paul Allen wanted to help save the world's coral reefs. He liked the idea of using technology to visualize data. So, he connected with Ruth Gates. She was a researcher in Hawaii. She was working on restoring reefs. She also brought in Asner. He was als...
A new paradigm has emerged for management of coral reefs in an era of changing climate – managing for resilience. A fundamental need for such management to be effective is our ability to measure and map coral reef resilience. We review the resilience co
To identify groups of reefs that tend to retain larvae (and therefore, potentially, gene flow), we use the Map Equation via the Infomap algorithm64. Based on a directed and weighted graph, Infomap partitions the network represented by the graph into modules by minimising the information required...
