1 Coral Reef Science Ruth D. Gates Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology

2 Corals are functionally dependent on symbionts
Symbiodinium dinoflagellates Coral gastrodermal cell Organic carbon Dinoflagellate Inorganic nutrients Intracellular Interaction Mutualism Environmentally Sensitive

3 No two reefs or corals are the same

4 Reef ecosystems - threatened by a diversity of stressors that vary over time and space

Where is HI? Where is haunauma bay? El Niño Southern Oscillation El Niño Southern Oscillation Decreased Aragonite Saturation State Decreased Aragonite Saturation State Algal over-growth Algal over- growth Global Climate Change Global Climate Change

5 Grand Challenge Research Areas
Predicting how climate change and increasing human activity impact the functional integrity of coral reefs Understanding how biodiversity (taxonomic, genetic and functional) influences ecosystem resilience Defining links between, environmental context, 3D complexity, biodiversity and human services

6 Data Types Problems Image Text GIS Sensor streams Spectral Fasta
Accessibility Not standardized Not digitized Dark

8 Coral Image Data Can Brown Dog Help? Extensive collections Multi-scale
Multi-state Qualitative Huge quantitative Resource Source of unexplored knowledge Can Brown Dog Help?

9 Rapid Changes in Health State
Day Day 42 Image Analysis Adjust/Normalize Compare Features i.e. Color Texture Assembly Day 21

10 Massive Resource – Legacy Data
100,000’s digital photographs Same site over a time span of 50 years Unstructured and uncurated collections on hard drives Extraction of metadata Taxonomic annotation – feature comparison Assembly and coral cover Size analysis Assess change over time?
