Research interest: Monitoring ecosystem health of coral reefs and seagrass habitats, integrating field and remote sensing image datasets, calibrating and validating of remotely sensed imagery in coastal environments, and the developing cost-effective benthic habitat mapping approaches. He has developed unique field methods for the calibration and validation of high/low spatial resolution, multi-/hyper-spectral airborne and satellite imagery in combination with object based image analysis approaches. These methods have been adopted as standard practice in a number of resource management agencies and research institutes around the world.
Current projects: Principal investigator on three major coral reef habitat mapping projects:
1) 3D GBR Habitat Mapping Project: Developing and implementing an approach to map for the first time the geomorphic zonation, bottom type and predicted coral type habitat for every single reef over the full extent of the Great Barrier Reef, currently these maps do not exist to that level of detail funded through Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
2) Global habitat mapping project Developing and implementing the validation and global habitat mapping component of the Allen Coral Atlas which aims to create maps of all coral reefs globally and develop a monitoring system, in partnership with Paul G. Allen Vulcan Philanthropies; Planet; the Arizona State University and the National Geographic Society.
3) Heron Reef Long term monitoring of benthic composition. Since 2002, annual photoquadrate surveys are being collected at various site around Heron Island Research Station. The study was initiated to develop remote sensing mapping approaches and assess coral composition over time. Benthic and geomorphic maps, photo quadrates, spectral reflectance and field data are accessible online for Heron Reef.
Other projects: Advisor for Reef Cloud Machine learning and reporting platform by Australian Institute of Marine Science and Coordinated Global Research Assessment of Seagrass System (C-GRASS), co-working group lead best practice.
Current position: Senior Research fellow teaching remote sensing courses, co-director of the Remote Sensing Research Centre https://www.rsrc.org.au/coastal-mapping-and-monitoring.
Capacity building: teaching in under and post graduate courses; supervision of post-graduate students, national and international workshops/courses; and development of remote sensing toolkit https://www.rsrc.org.au/rstoolkit. Trainer in national and international workshops and online courses in coral reef remote sensing for Allen Coral Atlas and TNC
Citizen science: Integrated in his research and as volunteer he is a strong supporter of citizen science based projects, which he represents as a trainer, organiser and scientific advisor with www.reefcheckaustralia.org/, www.coralwatch.org, www.citizensgbr.org and http://www.unidive.org/unidive-projects/ .

If you are interested in working as part of a collaborative, supportive, multi-disciplinary team that links different disciplines across academia, governments, industry and NGOs, on the topics below please contact c.roelfsema@uq.edu.au to it further.
Collaboration/Supervision possible with: Chris Roelfsema, Mitchell Lyons, Eva Kovacs, Stuart Phinn SEES RSRC UQ, Julie Vercelloni QUT, and relevant others
Seagrass research can focus on work in the Moreton Bay but are not limited to that.
Funding
These project do not have funding or scholarships currently, but are supported by extensive pre-existing data archives of fully corrected satellite image archives and field data sets, a collective group of researchers working on the site, and ability to be supported in scholarship and funding applications.
Background
Since 2002 the Remote Sensing Research Centre Team have used Moreton Bay as basis to develop integrated earth observation and field data monitoring, modelling and mapping approaches. Part of that work was establishing a detailed field-based baseline of the seagrass in the Moreton Bay and specificly Eastern Banks. In the last 20+ years seagrass has been mapped regulary in this region.
PhD Topics
The data sets themselves provide a wealth of information for interested students to work on, hence we aim to engage with those interested in building seagrass science and management related , knowledge, skills, network, experience and development opportunities to enhance existing, or develop new careers.

Background
Since 2002 the Remote Sensing Research Centre Team have used Heron Reef as basis to develop integrated earth observation and field data monitoring, modelling and mapping approaches. Part of that work was establishing a detailed field-based baseline of the reef, which is completed annually and has produced a 20+ year annual data set. Since 2011, the Reef Check Australia Coral Watch Field teams have joined the surveys and collected their associated data sets.

Note for students: The possible research projects listed on this page may not be comprehensive or up to date. Always feel free to contact the staff for more information, and also with your own research ideas.
PhD, Masters or Honours Topics: Seagrass Dynamics Integrating Geospatial/Earth Observation/Ecology
General
If you are interested in working as part of a collaborative, supportive, multi-disciplinary team that links different disciplines across academia, governments, industry and NGOs, on the topics below please contact c.roelfsema@uq.edu.au to it further.
Collaboration/Supervision possible with: Chris Roelfsema, Mitchell Lyons, Eva Kovacs, Stuart Phinn SEES RSRC UQ, Julie Vercelloni QUT, and relevant others
Seagrass research can focus on work in the Moreton Bay but are not limited to that.
Funding
These project do not have funding or scholarships currently, but are supported by extensive pre-existing data archives of fully corrected satellite image archives and field data sets, a collective group of researchers working on the site, and ability to be supported in scholarship and funding applications.
Background
Since 2002 the Remote Sensing Research Centre Team have used Moreton Bay as basis to develop integrated earth observation and field data monitoring, modelling and mapping approaches. Part of that work was establishing a detailed field-based baseline of the seagrass in the Moreton Bay and specificly Eastern Banks. In the last 20+ years seagrass has been mapped regulary in this region.
PhD Topics
The data sets themselves provide a wealth of information for interested students to work on, hence we aim to engage with those interested in building seagrass science and management related , knowledge, skills, network, experience and development opportunities to enhance existing, or develop new careers.
If you are interested, please contact c.roelfsema@uq.edu.au to discuss how to develop a research project for special topic, masters or PhD research that might suit you focussing on:

Coral Reef research can focus on work on the Heron Reef but are not limited to that.
Funding
These project do not have funding or scholarships currently, but are supported by extensive pre-existing data archives of fully corrected satellite image archives and field data sets, a collective group of researchers working on the site, and ability to be supported in scholarship and funding applications.
Background
Since 2002 the Remote Sensing Research Centre Team have used Heron Reef as basis to develop integrated earth observation and field data monitoring, modelling and mapping approaches. Part of that work was establishing a detailed field-based baseline of the reef, which is completed annually and has produced a 20+ year annual data set. Since 2011, the Reef Check Australia Coral Watch Field teams have joined the surveys and collected their associated data sets.
PhD Topics
