Observations of spatial variability in flow over coral reefs

Poster Number:  200 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jim Hench Although small-scale spatial flow variability can affect both larger-scale circulation patterns and biological processes on coral reefs, there are few direct measurements of flow patterns at scales

The role of corallum morphology in mediating the response of the coral Porites rus to ocean acidification

Poster Number:  175 Presenter/Primary Author:  Beth Lenz Evaluating the response of corals to ocean acidification (OA) is crucial to understanding how coral reefs will change at low pH, yet the factors affecting coral susceptibility to OA remain unknown.

Multiple mechanisms of calcification and heterotrophic capacity may determine the response of calcifying cnidarians to ocean acidification

Poster Number:  70 Presenter/Primary Author:  Darren Brown Ocean acidification (OA) decreases the CaCO3 saturation state of seawater, making it thermodynamically challenging for calcifying cnidarians to precipitate mineral skeletons.  In th

Responses of Reef Fish Communities to Large-Scale Habitat Perturbations

Poster Number:  59 Presenter/Primary Author:  Andrew Brooks Our ability to predict how communities of coral reef fishes will change in response to habitat alteration depends strongly on understanding the functional relationships of component species with li
