PhD candidates @ashtyn-isaak.bsky.social & @hollykoch20.bsky.social are researching how ocean acidification and high light contribute to bleaching, which includes: 🧪36 tanks, 4 species, 12 treatments, 400+ samples 🧬2 corals & 2 crustose coralline algae 🔬 Drivers: light, temp, & 4 levels of PCO2

Some good news today: 4 of my PhD students were successful recently in obtaining awards. Holly Koch, Imogen bunting, and Katie Whenton got SBS funding to go to ASLO or ITRS. But, bigger news: Denisa Berbece obtained a Coastal People Southern Skies Centre of Research Excellence PhD scholarship, yay!

Our next experiment’s army of coral frags ready to go. With 2 coral species and 2 CCA we will test physiological differences between thermal bleaching, light induced bleaching, and low pH induced bleaching using physiology, skeletal geochemistry, and gene expression at AIMS

Reminiscing on the fantastic conference put on by @aslo.org at the Aquatic Sciences Meeting in March 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina I presented some of my results from two natural analogue sites; Semi-enclosed lagoon and a CO2 vent How do coralline algae survive in extreme environments?
