Normally, deep-sea reefs have a relatively low proportion of coral coverage, about 10-20%, per the news release. But this system stands out for its particular vigor: an estimated 50-60% live coral ...

Photos released by the team showed a seabed covered with rose-shaped corals, ... The unusually deep coral reef has escaped the climate change damage that has hit shallower reefs worldwide.

Our researchers have developed a deep learning system that can analyze images to identify and measure deep-sea coral reefs, in a fraction of the time it takes a human. The system is made up of a ...

A “work of art” has been discovered in the South Pacific. But rather a canvas, this one is under the sea. It’s a sprawling coral reef that looks like a beautiful, otherworldly rose garden ...

Mr. Rosenfeld, 52, photographed the reef as part of a deep sea exploration project called 1 Ocean, partnering with UNESCO and researchers from CRIOBE, a prominent French laboratory specializing in ...

The reef is between 164 and 328 feet (50 and 100 meters) deep, and South American researchers who mapped it from the surface estimate that it covers about 3,668 square miles (9,500 square kilometers).

Largest deep-sea coral reef: How it was discovered. The reef is too deep to explore by scuba diving, and that's why the mapping was done using 31 multi-beam sonars, according to the news release.

31 different multibeam sonar surveys led researchers to discover the extent of a deep-sea coral reef off the southeastern U.S. – the largest ever found. Derek C. Sowers, ...

A new paper examines the rarely explored coral reefs in deep water, where less than 1 percent of light from the surface makes it through. The research identifies how these corals are able to ...

In waters this deep—about 100 to at least 500 feet below the surface—little to no light breaks through. ... Deep submersible dives shed light on rarely explored coral reefs.
