Science for Sustainable Management of Coral Reef Biodiversity: a multi-disciplinary approach to global-scale processes and patterns [ 2002-10-01 - 2007-09-30 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Terence Hughes (Federation Fellowship)

Brief description Science for Sustainable Management of Coral Reef Biodiversity: a multi-disciplinary approach to global-scale processes and patterns. Hughes will lead an international team to undertake a multi-disciplinary program of research that will quantify the processes underlying biodiversity patterns on coral reefs, focussing on ecological and evolutionary mechanisms of these complex systems at multiple scales in space and time. A novel modelling component will provide the mechanistic link between multi-scale processes and regional-scale patterns. This research will cement Australia's leading contribution to coral reef science, and will guide the management, sustainable use and conservation of coral reef biodiversity across international boundaries.
