Scientists at GCR publish research on light stress and heat stress on coral bleached reefs
This scientific paper, regarding how light stress and heat stress induce different injuries in corals that undergo coral bleaching, will help scientists understand and predict consequences to coral reefs in response to climate change events. This paper was co-authored by scientists from Scotland, Israel, the University of Hawaii, the University of Central Florida, Florida State University, and the U.S. federal government.
Day in the life of a scientist
Tim Grollimund spends a day with Dr. Craig Downs, the leading organizer of TGCR, and a prolific researcher on reef ecology, from the Keys to Micronesia. Learn more about the three phases of the process: Investigation, Mitigation and Restoration.
Declining coral communities U.S. Virgin Islands
