Job Purpose and Application Details

Tropical coral reefs throughout Asia are under threat from climatic change and anthropogenic stress. Declines in coral reef health combined with sea-level rise are expected to lead to structural collapse and drowning of coral reefs, undermining the ecosystem services they provide, including protecting coastal communities from coastal erosion and flooding. However, there is considerable uncertainty in these projections as there is a paucity of data on contemporary rates of reef growth on which to model future transformations. This project addresses this critical gap in knowledge, and through novel application of recent advances in high-precision measurement techniques will construct the first high-resolution direct measurements of contemporary coral reef growth in Southeast and South Asia.
