Coastal acidification in the benthic boundary layer on inshore reefs: implications on water chemistry and benthic communities (Old ID 24986)

Supervisor

This project will investigate the effects of coastal acidification on the waters within the benthic boundary layer, as well as the implications for important coral reef organisms and communities present in this area. I aim to (a) understand the dynamics and responses of this microenvi9ronment and its constituents with respect to coastal acidification and temperature, and (b) improve current predictions on the reef's ability to recover after acute stresses, such as bleaching or cyclone damage, under an increasingly acidifying ecosystem.
