3D Models Provide Unprecedented Look at Corals Response to Bleaching Events
Scripps Institution of Oceanography Research Team Discovers Biomarkers for Coral Bleaching
August 6, 2024
In a groundbreaking study, marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography have provided an unprecedented glimpse into the intricate world of coral reefs and their response to bleaching events.
Using a time series of coral reef 3D models from Maui, the researchers discovered chemical signatures in the corals' biology, known as biomarkers, that are present during bleaching events.
These biomarkers offer a vital tool for understanding the dynamics of coral bleaching and predicting future responses to environmental stressors.
