Welcome
Welcome to the website for the Coral Reef Ecosystems Laboratory, The University of Queensland, Australia. Under the guidance of
Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, the lab is conducting research into a variety of topics related to coral reef ecosystems.
The lab currently hosts 31 people from 18 different countries. This website gives access to their personal profiles and 267 of their peer-reviewed publications.

Human being and fish can coexist peacefully

”All of us want to see appropriate environmental protection, but man and nature have to live together,” Mr Abbott said as he toured the seat ...
No quick fix for climate with geoengineering
It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but the artificial manipulation of the Earth’s climate has been touted as a possible strategy to reduce the effects of unmitigated climate change. Thanks to the painfully slow progress that has been made towards reducing our carbon emissions, there has been some surprisingly serious discussion about the prospect of geoengineering the climate in order to suit the needs of humans.
Of the various forms that have been suggested (large machines to suck CO2 from the air, space-borne mirrors to reflect sunlight, iron filings ...
Breaking news: Stanford climate scientist Steve Schneider passes away at age 65
“No one, and I mean no one, had a broader and deeper understanding of the climate issue than Stephen,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University. “More than anyone else, he helped shape the way the public and experts thought about this problem — from the basic physics of the problem, to the impact of human beings on nature’s ecosystems, to developing policy.”
World renowned climate scientist Steve Schneider, Professor of Environmental Biology and Global Change at Stanford University ...
