SPCMSC Research Oceanographer Lauren Toth is the recipient of the 2019 International Coral Reef Society Young Scientist Award. The objective of the International Coral Reef Society is to “promote the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge and understanding of coral reefs, both living and fossil”. It currently has more than 1000 members representing more than 60 different countries and territories around the world. The award is given in recognition of an exceptional series of publications that have had a significant influence on coral-reef science. In recognition of this achievement, Toth will be granted lifetime status as an ICRS Fellow and has been invited to present her research at the 14th International Coral Reef Symposium in Bremen, Germany.

The specific objectives of this project are to identify and describe the processes that are important in determining rates of coral-reef construction. How quickly the skeletons of calcifying organisms accumulate to form massive barrier-reef structure is determined by processes of both construction (how fast organisms grow and reproduce) and destruction (how fast reefs break down by mechanical...

Coral Reefs as Climate Archives

USGS scientists use coral reefs as archives for reconstructing climate change during the Holocene (past 10,000 years). Coral reefs provide proxy information about rates of sea level change in the past, and individual coral colonies can be used to reconstruct the annual cycle of temperature and salinity variations for up to three centuries.
