Presenter: Megan Clampitt
Session: 7C - How can new imaging-based tools help us better understand corals and other reef organisms?
Location: Hanse Saal
Format: Talk
During the Tara Pacific Expedtion, three coral species (Pocillopora meandrina, Porites lobata, and Millepora platyphyla) were sampled and photographed across the entire Pacific Ocean. From this expedition, data across different scales (molecular, genetic, physiological and ecosystem) was generated. The goal of my research is to use the wealth of data from the Tara pacific expedition to develop a non-invasive photographic sampling method using Artificial Intelligence in order to monitor coral health status.
