Funded Activity Summary
Environmentally Controlled Infrastructure to Investigate the Effects of Climate Change on the Great Barrier Reef. The coral reefs of Australia, particularly the Great Barrier Reef, Ningaloo Reef, and Lord Howe Island World Heritage Area are Australian national icons, of great economic, social, and aesthetic value to this country. Climate change has the potential to impact the biodiversity of these reefs and their sustainable management. Temperature, CO2, pH and light can affect coral and fish reproduction, coral bleaching and the response to other anthropogenic intrusions. This facility will provide essential infrastructure for conducting fundamental research on these issues and will directly interface with management agencies to assist with the sustainable management of Australian reefs.Funded Activity Details
