Planning Visit: The Coupling of Physiology and Physical Effects to the Demography of Tropical Reef Corals

9910659 Edmunds该奖项支持Peter Edmunds和一名学生计划访问澳大利亚，与悉尼大学生物科学学院的Ove Hoegh-Guldberg博士合作，研究生理学和物理学效应与热带珊瑚礁珊瑚数量的耦合。 PI建议在澳大利亚花三周时间开展合作，研究大堡礁珊瑚礁的生理学和人口统计学之间的联系。 在澳大利亚，PI将在悉尼大学度过一周，然后在One Tree Island实地考察两周。 主要研究员和学生将与澳大利亚同事一起进行试验，并收集关于一树岛珊瑚礁上可能的实验物种数量的初步数据，以准备全面的合作研究建议。该主题对珊瑚礁和其他沿海系统的基础研究非常重要，拟议的规划访问应导致持续的合作。

9910659EdmundsThis award supports a planning visit by Peter Edmunds and a student to Australia to initiate work with Dr. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, School of Biological Science, University of Sydney on the coupling of physiology and physical effects to the demography of tropical reef corals. The PI proposes to spend three weeks in Australia developing a collaboration to study associations between the physiology and demographics of reef corals on the Great Barrier Reef. In Australia, the PI will spend a week at the University of Sydney followed by two weeks in the field at One Tree Island. The PI and student, together with Australian colleagues, will conduct trial experiments and collect preliminary data on the population sizes of possible experimental species on the reefs of One Tree Island, in anticipation of preparing a full collaborative research proposal.The topic is important to basic research in coral reef and other coastal systems, and the proposed planning visit should lead to a continuing collaboration.
