A new aerial technique maps coral reefs with unprecedented precision
The use of drones and algorithms could equip scientists to more accurately model and predict how water flow, wave action and temperature affect the health of our oceans and planet. The work was led by Stanford's environmental engineer Stephen Monismith, aeronautical engineer Juan J. Alonso and postdoctoral scholar in the Bob and Norma Street Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, Justin Rogers.
