      Title: High Resolution Imagery of Baker Island Coral Reef Systems Prior to and During Suspected Bleaching Events
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Remote-sensing image

  Description: 
    Abstract: This dataset is a collection of imagery of Baker Island coral reef systems. They are pairs of imagery where one image was acquired during a suspected bleaching event. The second is a control image taken at some point prior to the event. The images are co-located and radiometrically calibrated for comparison. The difference images are analyzed for evidence of bleaching.

    Purpose: These data were analyzed with the purpose of developing a semi-automated quantitative measure of coral reef bleaching.
