Using Polyps and Pixels to Advance Coral Biochemistry
A new imaging technique developed at the University of Queensland has the potential to revolutionize the way we study coral reefs. Using polyps and pixels, researchers have discovered a way to measure the biochemistry of the corals in a non-destructive manner. This technique allows for a much more detailed analysis of the coral’s environment and gives us a better understanding of how they react to environmental changes. By using this technique, researchers have been able to track the changes in the coral’s biochemistry in real-time, giving us valuable insight into how the coral reefs are responding to global climate change.
