Project description and aims

This project will draw on disparate fields (genomics, modelling, and microbial ecology) to resolve coral evolution potential. It will employ a diversity of modelling methods: biophysical connectivity, infectious disease, and the mathematical modelling of adaptation. This project aims to identify reefs that support the most fundamental biological processes for ecosystem-scale resilience: dispersal, symbioses, and adaptation.
