We have acquired temperature loggers and started the process of inter-calibrating them in a water bath to ensure their accuracy relative to each other. Here, we have prepared the loggers with weights and wrapped them in tape to prevent unwanted heating from sunshine on the plastic casing. Now, they will be placed in a controlled water bath for calibration prior to preparing for deployment.
Urgent action is needed to protect coral reefs in the face of a changing climate. In Hawaiʻi, outflow from an electric plant warms a coral reef by 5 °C above normal. Surprisingly, corals are thriving here. If these corals have adapted to a warmer environment, they could enhance the long-term effectiveness of reef restoration efforts. In this project, we will conduct transplant experiments to test whether these corals retain their heat tolerance even after transplantation to cooler reefs.
