Hi Everyone!Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported my research thus far! I am so thankful to have reached my goal to continue my PhD research on a very important topic!As it is...

For my experiment, I will be comparing the acclimation capacities between 9 coral reef species and here I will introduce each species and provide a couple of fun facts about them! These species wer...

Merry Christmas Everyone!Today, I thought I would publish something Christmasy, but coral-related of course! Corals have the ability to fluoresce, which is the process of absorbing one color of lig...

This past week, I started Round 4 out of 5 for this experiment! I had a little pep in my step, since I knew I would have enough money to complete this experiment!! :)  The experiment...

Most of the money raised will go towards sequencing, an approach that tells us about the molecular mechanisms helping corals acclimate to warmer temperatures. I'm sure you've read some of my posts ...

There are many stressors that are currently contributing to the decline and degradation of coral reef species worldwide, but the major driver is climate change, and more specifically, ocean warming...

I was eleven years old when I learned about Jacques Cousteau's adventures and the wonders of the ocean. His scientific endeavors and discussions of the ocean captivated me and made me incredibly cu...

Coral reefs provide a great deal of ecosystem services that provide both cultural and socioeconomic values, estimating a yearly benefit of $400 billion globally. Coral reefs provide an important re...
