Broadly, we seek to understand coral resilience to a changing climate.

Our research aims to develop a better understanding of the drivers and consequences of natural variation in resilience and how we can leverage this understanding for conservation and management. We hope to use a deeper knowledge of the coral holobiont and its ecology to create tools that help conserve reefs.

Our research projects are deeply interconnected and we deliberately leverage the outcomes of each individual experiment for gains in other areas of research.
