Postdoctoral research scientist at Arizona State University, using remote sensing to improve coral restoration outcomes and ridge-to-reef impacts on coral reefs.
In 10 seconds? Due to global warming, sea temperatures are increasing and a new study shows that species in the Mediterranean Sea are moving into deeper waters to survive. This will cause a headache to fishermen, who need to trave...
In 10 seconds? A discovery into how coral-like sea creatures sense light can explain why coral reefs get into mortal danger when they are "bleached" due to warming waters or acidity. It also can direct scientists to a solution tha...
In 10 seconds? As seaweeds absorb lots of carbon dioxide (CO2) while growing, seaweed farming has been mentioned as a potential strategy to capture CO2 from the atmosphere. A recent study, however, shows that when considering natu...
In 10 seconds? Human wastewater is one of the biggest polluters of coastal ecosystems, with more than 80% of sewage released untreated into the environment. A new study pinpoints the just two dozen locations that play a role in th...
In 10 seconds? Scientists have highlighted a protective synergy between ecosystems threatened by climate change. Where mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs overlap, they mutually boost each other’s resilience to adverse changes i...
In 10 seconds? Just like trees, seaweed uses photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into more seaweed. Using huge amounts of CO2 in the process, seaweed grows extremely fast and is a potential candidate for carbon sequestr...
Coral reefs are suffering damage due to climate change and other factors and restoring them is hard and costly. Marine biologists have been 'outplanting' nursery-grown corals for decades. But these are very sensitive to a harsh en...
