WHOI researchers recover instruments that were on tripods, moorings and placed on and around reefs in the Red Sea. They took them back to KAUST uploaded and looked at data, set the instruments back up for redeployment and put them back in. Researchers are studying how the reef and circulation affected the temperature.
Image of The Day caption:
Whitney Bernstein, a graduate student in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program, samples water from a coral reef in the Red Sea in December 2010. Corals worldwide are subjected to rising water temperatures and changing water chemistry that threaten their survival. Bernstein, collaborating with scientist Steve Lentz and advised by scientist Konrad Hughen, is monitoring the growth of reef communities. She will compare these growth estimates to environmental conditions that influence reef health to better understand how reefs are responding to global climate change.
