DOCUMENTING CORAL REEFS WITH 3D TECHN...Description
All over the world, coral reefs face drastic declines in health due to disease, overfishing, rising ocean temperatures, and increased coastal development. Until recently it has been difficult to document these changes, due to lack of detailed baseline information on growth and degradation of coral colonies. The Dover Public Library is proud to present Yasmeen Smalley-Norman, 2016-2017 Fulbright Scholar, who is dedicated to bringing coral reefs to life with new technology. Smalley-Norman will share her unique perspective on this urgent problem in her presentation, “Documenting Coral Reefs with 3D Technology.” The presentation will be based on Smalley-Norman’s recent experiences as a Fulbright Scholar in the Philippines, where she created over 150 3D models of corals, many of which were endangered and vulnerable species.
