Excited that Coral Nurture Program Program will join the global Coralpalooza™ events to celebrate #Worldoceanday. Through our research we seek to optimise site stewardship to support natural reef recovery. Thanks @GBRFoundation for making this possible! uts.edu.au/news/health-sc…
Excited to be joining forces with 9 #greatbarrierreef tourism operators tomorrow for Coralpalooza, to raise awareness of stewardship-driven local site recovery and international collaboration Coral Nurture Program Coral Restoration Foundation #coralpalooza
Masters research finally published! Check out our paper evaluating the potential of preconditioning (temp and acidification) to enhance physiological tolerance in the coral Pocillopora acuta Australian Institute of Marine Science James Cook Uni Jenni Donelson @spectacularia Neal Cantin 👇🏼 doi.org/10.1007/s00338…
At #SER2023 this week our amazing team of researchers presented their work including Gemma M Gillette Lorna Howlett Rachael Scott and co-founder David J Suggett with further representation by Christine Roper ! We hope you enjoyed their talks. #GenerationRestoration
FutureReefsLab & Coral Nurture Program team members have been out this week rapidly assaying coral thermal tolerance to support choice selection in coral restoration. Great work Paige Strudwick Hadley England Christine Roper Lorna Howlett Wavelength Charters 🪸🪸🪸
Baptism by fire for the first two weeks of my new Post-Doc position with Coral Nurture Program Program and UTS Science. I am beyond grateful to the amazing team from FutureReefsLab and Wavelength Charters who lent a hand to make this huge reciprocal transplantation experiment possible!
A whirlwind few days in the field setting up a new Coral Nurture Program experiment phenotyping corals to help guide future selection of tolerant colonies, lead by FutureReefsLab's newest post-doc Paige Strudwick alongside Lorna Howlett Rachael Scott Hadley England on Wavelength Charters
The last of my PhD fieldwork done this week, big thanks to Wavelength Charters & Paige Strudwick! Intrigued to see the response of reef-transplanted mangrove corals over the coming months, with high temperatures projected for the GBR. Now on to labwork UTS C3 & FutureReefsLab
Glad to say that our study on the viability of plastic-free alternatives in reef restoration propagation is now published! 🪸🦠 doi.org/10.1111/1758-2… @coralnurture UTS Science FutureReefsLab OMGlab #GenerationRestoration #GreatBarrierReef #CoralMicrobiome 1/3
Rejuvenating and inspiring to attend the #ReefResilience24 symposium last week! Lorna Howlett Christine Roper and Paige Strudwick presenting on their research, our progress and future directions within Coral Nurture Program. @FutureReefsLab #GenerationRestoration #OceanDecade
Excited to have shared my 3rd PhD chapter on using a portable, high-throughput phenotyping device to guide coral stock selection during this week’s #reefresilience2024 symposium. It’s been an inspiring week following a tough summer for the GBR. FutureReefsLab Coral Nurture Program
FR Team Opportunities for Impact Breakfast UTS Startups was a success! We heard from Team Leader Dr Emma Camp, and Christine Roper about all the innovative work being championed to enhance reef resilience on the GBR, including the Coral Nurture Program Program 🪸
