Assessing coral reef resilience to thermal stress in the face of climate change

Anthropogenic climate change threatens coral reef ecosystems in several ways. By comparing coral samples from a reef that experienced bleaching at high temperatures, and one that did not, we determined biological factors indicating temperature stress resilience. These data improve our biological understanding of these reefs, and provide insight for conservation efforts.

Professor Eggleston had been scheduled to teach at Alumni College this August. Though Alumni College had to be cancelled, we are pleased to have her as part of Faculty at Home summer series.
