STS099-706-82 Marutea, Tuamotu Archipelago; an excellent picture of nearby Reao (STS099-730-79), not shown. Astronaut photographs of the Tuamotus are being used in a study comparing different types of remote sensing images, and how much reef habitat information can be extracted from them.

STS099-746-70 French Frigate Shoals, Northwest Hawaiian Islands. This area is critical habitat for endangered Hawaiian monk seals. Astronaut photographs are being used to create a map of the area, because Landsat, SPOT and aerial photography data are not currently available.

STS099-751-16 Sinai, with Sharm el Sheik. Our office collaborates with scientists in Egypt studying the effects of tourism on the reefs here. Two related photographs from this mission (not shown) are: STS099-715-59 (Tip of the Sinai Peninsula) and STS099-716-83 (Red Sea development).
