Marine Scientist Talks:
We will be meeting with many Marine Science experts this year, and we will post information, videos, and pictures of our visits with them right here. So, stay tuned!
Starting, whenever I can figure out how to get Mrs. Greatrex's videos to transfer into a better quality than the one below, we will be posting weekly videos with Dr. Rivah Winter, who is an "Inventor in Residence" and a curator of aquarium content and marine science at the Frost Science Museum in Miami, FL. Dr. Winter is part of a team who wants to make corals more climate-change resilient by developing ways to keep more algal symbionts inside coral tissues in warmer water temperatures, maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between the algae and corals that is necessary for coral survival. Her team plans to use these methods to increase the heat tolerance of corals used for reef restoration, helping them survive as ocean temperatures rise. Here is a LINK to an interesting article about how, "Researchers embrace a radical idea: engineering coral to cope with climate change." Check it out!
