> Liz Whitcher and I completed a study a few years back where we used past
> video transects to pinpoint the time of death for specific corals to within
> 2 months. As a result, we were able to compute infaunal bioerosion rates
> without using the usual tile deployments. We still have the samples in the
> lab and photographed each dead colony before (in situ) and immediately
> after sampling (on the boat). I have a student who would like to compare
> surficial information to Liz' bioerosion rates to see how close they are to
> other recent data. If anyone can refresh my failing memory regarding the
> recent papers that specifically compare surficial information to internal
> bioerosion, I'd be very appreciative.
