Disease and Coral Restoration

Coral orientation and its effect on traits: implications for coral restoration
Evidence of Local Adaptation vs Plasticity of nursery corals
Disease trajectory across a semi-closed population: population scale and microbial scale

With the Central Caribbean Marine Institute and their coral nursery, I have been working on several projects exploring disease dynamics, how coral traits influence coral success, and how coral genotype and outplant environment influence coral success. These projects have immediate conservation implications. We focus on the restoration of Acropora cervicornis in an ocean-based nursery.
