| Abstract | Considering the vast area of coral reefs, and the remote nature of many of them, a simple but effective procedure to quickly identify the effect of ecosystem stress from satellite imagery is needed. The stresses may be related to El Nino induced temperature and radiation changes, pollution and situation, or unsustainable fishing practices. The procedure must not be dependent upon in situ measurements that typically have been used to correct beam attenuation through the water column, yet must identify signature changes at a variety of depths. The authors have selected Savusavu Bay of Fiji as a test region. A gold mine was recently recommissioned on the west side of the bay. During an anomalous winter storm, the retaining walls of some effluent storage facilities failed and a variety of chemicals were released through the adjacent river system and dispersed over a large coral reef. The authors have SPOT satellite imagery from before and after the event. Preliminary rsconnaissance indicates severe damage to the corals with colonization by algae. The authors assess the change detected from the multidate SPOT data. The Getis statistic, which is based solely on image spatial characteristics, is evaluated as a tool for change detection. Preliminary examination suggests that it meets the requirements for rapid assessment for environmental change without the need for individual image calibration based upon in situ information. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
