The Coral Reef Futures Lab

Located at the University of Miami, the Coral Reef Futures Lab studies the biology, ecology and conservation of coral reefs with a particular emphasis on the impacts of ongoing climate change on these ecosystems.

Directed by Prof, Andrew Baker, a major research theme is the complex and dynamic relationship between corals and their algal symbionts (“zooxanthellae” in the family Symbiodiniaceae), to better understand how corals might adapt to both warming ocean temperatures and increased ocean acidification in the coming decades.
