Marine mathematics helps to map undiscovered deep-water coral reefs

A team of marine scientists has discovered four new deep-water coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean using the power of predictive mathematical models. Located at depths of up to 1.2km, in seas west of Ireland, the reefs were identified by a modelling system that predicts occurrence according to conditions favourable to coral.
