Coral Ecosystem Resilience, Conservation and Management on the Reefs of Jamaica in the Face of Anthropogenic Activities and Climate Change
Knowledge of factors that are important in reef resilience and integrity help us understand how reef ecosystems react following major anthropogenic and environmental disturbances.The North Jamaican fringing reefs have shown some recent resilience to acute disturbances from hurricanes and bleaching, in addition to the recurring chronic stressors of
Real-Time and High-Speed Underwater Photon-Counting Communication Based on SPAD and PPM Symbol Synchronization
Photon-counting detectors can increase the range of underwater optical wireless communication (UWOC) by enhancing the detection sensitivity and have thus become an active research area in recent years.However, system performance still needs to be improved in the reported underwater photon-counting communication (UPCC) experiments.In this study, a r
