Funded Activity Summary

Tolerance of coralline algae to climate change in variable environments. This project aims to test whether organisms which regularly encounter low pH have greater tolerance to ocean acidification and why, and whether certain coralline algae can exert controls on their calcification that allows for greater tolerance to low pH. Coralline algae create and bind together reefs. Without them, both temperate and coral reefs as we know them would not exist. Understanding the extent to which tolerance to ocean acidification could be imparted to coralline algae through their environment or by physiological controls on calcification will enable us to better understand the fate of future reefs.
