BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions that have steep or ...

As a team of marine biologists, assessing the health of thousands of square metres of coral reef can be a daunting prospect. Often, we have to monitor some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the ...

An innovation interface tailors 3D-printed reefs to their marine environment and may curb reef devastation plaguing global coral ecosystems. The world's coral reefs are becoming extinct due to many ...

Natural disasters such as hurricanes often leave devastation in their wake. Residents living in affected areas are sometimes displaced or require temporary shelter while their homes — or even ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The oceans are a vast and mysterious environment. Though they cover 70% of the planet, man has only explored about 5% of that. Angela Martinez Quintana, who received her Ph.D. at UB, ...

In a new study, marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and Arizona State University are providing a first-of-its-kind glimpse into coral “bleaching” responses to ...

Threats to coral reefs are everywhere -- rising water temperatures, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, fishing and other human activities. But new research shows that 3-D printed coral can provide ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Saving coral reefs just went high-tech. A 3D-printing method to preserve the reefs has been developed by researchers from ...

Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions with steep or shallow slopes. Where do ...
