Synopsis
One year, 900 locations, thousands of coral reefs. That's the tally of NASA's Landsat 7 satellite as it continues to deliver cutting edge images and information about the Earth. Note: With the Landsat 7 data we can rigorously test hypotheses about how entire reef ecosystems form,-- says coral reef ecologist Bruce Hatcher of Dalhousie University--We no longer are limited to the observations we can collect by wandering around in small boats and sampling individual reefs to infer large-scale processes from a few samples. Animator: Stuart A. Snodgrass (GST). Scientist: Serge Andrefouet (University of South Florida). Platforms/Sensors/Data Sets: Landsat-7/ETM+.
