Image Of the Day caption:
MIT-WHOI Joint Program graduate student Hannah Barkley (right) points WHOI diver Pat Lohmann to a Porites coral for coring. The core, a biopsy of the coral's skeleton, contains valuable information about the coral's response to stressful conditions such as ocean warming and acidification. Aboard R/V Alucia, the team from WHOI scientist Anne Cohen's lab traveled 862 nautical miles across the Palauan archipelago, where strong gradients in temperature and pH provide a natural laboratory to understand how coral reefs can thrive in seemingly adverse conditions. Funding for the cruise was provided by the Dalio Foundation, Inc.
