Climate change is messing with coral skeletons
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies undertakes world-best integrated research for sustainable use and management of coral reefs.
Presentation given at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies 2013 evening Forum: Coral Reefs in the 21st Century
Research Fellow at James Cook University (JCU) Townsville, Aurelie Moya’s current research focuses on understanding how reef-building corals function at the molecular level, how they build their skeleton, and why they fail to do so when they are under stress. Aurelie is originally from France. She completed her PhD at the Scientific Centre of Monaco (2004-2007) where she studied the relation that exists between calcification and photosynthesis in Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate symbiosis. In 2009, Aurelie was awarded a European fellowship from the Marie Curie actions.
