Sorry folks!

*The Smithsonian?s Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) is an
interdisciplinary field research program based at the *
*Carrie Bow Cay Field Station on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef in Belize.
For over 40 years, Carrie Bow Cay has been *
*a productive venue for scientists whose collective body of work has
advanced our understanding of the dynamics of *
*coral reef, seagrass, and mangrove ecology.

Time slots are available for visiting researchers to work on the island for
periods of 1-3 weeks. Very reasonable rates *
*are available for visitors from outside the Smithsonian Institution.*

> Although numerous past and current special issues of remote sensing and
> coral reef journals, along with summary books,  have focussed on mapping of
> coral reefs and their composition, few if any have focussed on using
> remotely sensed data to estimate and understand the dynamics or processes
> occurring on coral reefs.  Measurements of how sun-light is absorbed,
> scattered and transmitted provides information fundamental to understanding
> the biophysical structures and processes of coral reefs from molecular
> (10-6m) and global (108km) scales.  ?Remote sensing? covers a range of
> scales and disciplines from satellite image analysis to
> microscopy/micro-analysis, and the finer scale knowledge is essential for
> ?scaling up? or mapping and monitoring over large areas. There is a need to
> improve interactions between coral/algal physiologists and scientists
> mapping and monitoring reefs, to link knowledge and applications to provide
> the same level of operational mapping and monitoring as ter
>  restrial plant ecology.

> We now invite submission for Papers in the special issue ? the proposed
> schedule is below, a bit longer than we initially planned.
>
> The papers can cover reef mapping and focus on the use of time series or
> specific image and field data  and processing models to estimate and
> understand biological and  physical (hydro-dynamic, geomorphic)  processes
> acting on reefs. This will include  applications from a range of sensors
> and scales:, in-situ spectrometry and fluorometry in laboratory and field;
> hydro-optical measurements; multi- and hyper-spectral imaging. These may
> cover  a range of environmental variables, including photosynthetic
> efficiency and  concentrations of pigments in corals and algae; bathymetry;
>  benthic community types; concentrations of organic in inorganic material
> in coral reef waters. Select papers will cover integration of variables
> across scales, as these are essential to enable larger scale measurement
> and monitoring of processes on coral reefs and their surrounding
> environments.
