Movie ID Title
This animation shows the first six years worth of biosphere data taken by the SeaWiFS instrument. On land, areas of high plant life are shown in dark green, while areas of low plant life are shown in tan. In the ocean, areas of high phytoplankton are shown in red, and areas of lowest phytoplankton are shown in blue and purple. 2914 Global Biosphere from August, 1997 to July, 2003 (WMS)

Located in tropical latitudes, the hard structures we know as coral are really the incremental build-ups of calcium carbonate deposited from the skeletal remains of these tiny colonial animals. 2012 Landsat 7 Looks at Pseudo Atolls
Near infrared data makes some areas on the reef jump out in bright red relief. The near infrared band best gathers the electromagnetic signature of a thriving ecosystem. 2011 Landsat 7 Looks at Barriers
But over time, while the surrounding ocean wears away the main body of the island, the coral ring remains. 2010 Landsat 7 Looks at Banks
Detailed images of reefs from nearly 900 locations around the world have been collected in the first year of the Landsat 7 mission. 2009 Landsat 7 Looks at Coral Reefs: (2 of 2)
These elegant whorls of color are atolls, enclosed coral reefs almost always surrounding a lagoon. Generally speaking, atolls are the products of volcanic islands that have eroded away. 2008 Landsat 7 Looks at Coral Reefs: (1 of 2)
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. 2007 Coral Reef Flyover of the Florida Keys
