Corals reefs like the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) underpin approximately $2 billion annually in sustainable tourism and fisheries. Warming of Australia's tropical seas, however, has increased mass coral bleaching/mortality and is placing reefs like the GBR at increasing risk. Solar radiation (PAR, UVR) plays an important influence on the biological outcome of thermal stress. Understanding the role of solar radiation is critical if we are to understand the changes that will occur on coral reefs as temperatures increase. This multidisciplinary international team will define and model the role of solar radiation on thermal stress at local, regional and global scales.

大堡礁 (GBR) 等珊瑚礁每年为可持续旅游业和渔业带来约 20 亿美元的收入。然而，澳大利亚热带海洋变暖导致大规模珊瑚白化/死亡增加，并使大堡礁等珊瑚礁面临越来越大的风险。 太阳辐射（PAR、UVR）对热应激的生物学结果具有重要影响。如果我们要了解珊瑚礁随着温度升高而发生的变化，了解太阳辐射的作用至关重要。这个多学科的国际团队将定义和模拟太阳辐射对局部、区域和全球范围内热应力的作用。
