Online Reefs (Part I): Climate change and ‘Survival of the Fittest’ among coral-algal symbiosis
Here is a video i’ve just uploaded that pieces together a fascinating presentation given by Dr Todd LaJeunesse at Heron Island Research Station earlier this year as part of the Coral Reef Targeted Research meeting. Todd is a great speaker, and the presentation (a little under 30 minutes in length) is a great watch for anyone interested in coral reefs under climate change. This is the first of a series of videos and lectures that I am currently editing and uploading on coral reefs and climate change – watch this space over the coming weeks. Also, see more of Todd’s work over at the The Symbiosis Ecology and Evolution Laboratory.

Hons at the University of Sydney and PhD at UCLA in 1989, and was recognized in 1999 with the Eureka prize for Research into the physiological mechanisms of coral bleaching. Specialising in the impact of climate change on biological systems, Professor Hoegh-Guldberg has worked in polar, temperate and tropical regions, and is well-known for his work on the impacts of ocean warming and acidification on coral reefs. He is currently a Queensland Smart State Premier's fellow, and holds positions as reviewing editor at Science Magazine and chair of the World Bank/GEF working group on coral reefs and climate change.Email this author | View all posts by OveHG










This is very well edited, Ove. We should run international conferences like this to help curb our emissions!
Thanks Alicia!

CO2 Global Emissions
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels have accelerated globally at a far greater rate than expected over recent years. The average growth rate of carbon dioxide emissions increased from 1.1% a year in the 1990's to a 3% increase per year in the 2000's.
While politicians fumble over the issue of gaining effective control of carbon dioxide, there is growing evidence that we must keep CO2 levels below 450 ppm or be prepared to suffer serious consequences to life on Earth.
