In Situ Spectral Properties (Reflectance and Fluorescence) of Benthic Substrates and Organisms

Abstract

The long-term goal of this research is to gain an understanding of the nature and significance of fluorescence phenomena (particularly non-chlorophyll in origin) in benthic marine organisms in general, and coral reef cnidarians in particular.
