Online Reefs (Part I): Climate change and ‘Survival of the Fittest’ among coral-algal symbiosis

11 October 2009 Posted by OveHG 939 views 2 Comments

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.

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