Monitoring the Influence of Variations in Remotely-Sensed Values of Sea Surface Temperature Along with the El Niño Phenomenon on the Coral Reefs Bleaching, Case Study: Kish Island, Persian Gulf, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Raie, Mohammad (Supervisor) ; Kabiri, Keivan (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Coral reefs are one of the most important ecosystems in terms of animal diversity and affect the life of organisms in different ways. This ecosystem is under many stresses today. Among the most important events that threaten corals is the event of coral bleaching, the most important cause of which is the increase in Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Therefore, it is highly important to monitor changes in SST affecting corals. Generally, temperature anomalies are investigated using the Degree Heating Weeks index (DHW) and SST data. DHW index is variable in different coral areas and changes with time. Consequently, in the present study, this index has been investigated due to the lack of...
