We study oceanographic drivers of coral reef ecology, trophic structure, and ecosystem dynamics in a changing world.

📍Red Sea and remote oceanic islands 🌊
Want to know how oceanography shapes coral reef ecosystems from microbes to sharks and how climate change will impact these vital links?

See our interdisciplinary review on ocean-reef connections!

Come join our interdisciplinary team!
Join our team as a KAUST global fellow! An amazing postdoctoral program for early career researchers.

We study ocean-reef connections and their influence on reef function and persistence under climate change. Reach out to discuss opportunities! 🌊🧪
