The Marine Spatial Ecology Lab is part of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Exeter. MSEL comprises six researchers working in nine project areas.
 
General aims:
 
The Marine Spatial Ecology Lab conducts several types of research, each of which has an explicit spatial focus. These are:
 

• Developing remote sensing as a tool to acquire spatial information in coastal areas.
• Make use of remote sensing outputs to investigate the physical and ecological processes determining health, dynamics and diversity of coral reefs.
• Improve the management of coral reefs through marine reserve design.
• Examine the spatial ecology of coral reef ecosystems from scales of millimetres (e.g. coral-algal interactions) to hundreds of kilometres (variations in beta diversity throughout the Caribbean).

 

MSEL is also a partner with IMM Ltd in the Coral Ecosystems, Livelihoods and Policy Group (CELP), an inter-disciplinary partnership of spedrug spammerts in coral reef resources, reef dependent people and poverty.
 
MSEL is the home of Vidana, a free, open source software tool for performing cover analysis from video footage or still images.

Living on Earth with Steve Curwood is the weekly environmental news and information program distributed by Public Radio International. Every week approximately 300 Public Radio stations broadcast Living on Earth's news, features, interviews and commentary on a broad range of ecological issues. The show airs in 9 of the 10 top radio markets and reaches 80% of the US.

Living on Earth is an independent media program and relies entirely on contributions from listeners and institutions supporting public service. Please donate now to preserve an independent environmental voice.
