This project explores how tropical corals actively manage mass transfer with their environment using ciliary motion. It employs advanced imaging techniques to study the impact of environmental changes on coral physiology.
Tropical reef-building corals live in a dynamic environment with fluctuating exposure to solar light and seawater flow.
It has long been assumed that corals interact passively with the surrounding seawater via a so-called diffusive boundary layer (DBL), which is a thin (~0.1-1 mm) layer of water located at the immediate surface of the coral, wherein molecular diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism for gases and solutes.
The DBL can thus be an important regulating mechanism for coral metab…
