Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 26 August 2021, shows the Ashmore coral reef in Australia. According to a new study published in the scientific journal Diversity and Distribution, the Ashmore reef and all coral reefs located in the Kimberley region of Australia could face a dramatic loss of biodiversity due to climate change. The species it hosts would not be able to resist the stress caused by rising sea temperatures and, according to the researchers, could fall in some places from 138 species today to fewer than 30 by 2100. The resolution of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites (10 m in multiple bands) allows Copernicus to monitor biological activity and water quality around the world.
