The eReefs Platform is based on a number of research components which include remote sensing tools as well as a number of marine models, fine scale coastal relocatable models as well as catchment models.
eReefs integrates marine hydrodynamic and biogeochemical models with catchment models and satellite data to provide high-frequency information on physical and biological processes at multiple scale, such as:
-
Sediment and nutrient dynamics
-
Plankton blooms dynamics and dispersal
-
Flood plumes and dispersal of pollutants
-
Water quality, marine heat waves, warming and acidification
The accuracy of eReefs models is supported by data collected through both routine in-situ monitoring and satellite earth observations.
