Funded Activity Summary
Adaptation potential of Australia’s coral reefs to a changing climate. Oceans are changing. Coral reefs are wonders of high socio-economic value threatened by climate extremes. This project aims to identify reefs that support the most fundamental biological processes for ecosystem-scale resilience: dispersal, symbioses, and adaptation. To urgently prepare against extinction, this project expects to deliver ground-breaking estimates of coral evolution by integrating genomics and innovative disease models. Expected outcomes include the discovery of reefs that can survive extremes and repopulate other reefs, providing benefits in optimized capabilities to protect resilient and vulnerable reefs to sustain future ecosystem services and boosting Australia as a global leader in the conservation genomics revolution.Funded Activity Details
