Perth, Western Australia, Australia

Experiment management: Aided in a long-term coral acclimatisation experiment within the McCulloch Lab that the post-doctorate Verena Schoepf ran for fourteen months to test for variance and maintenance in heat tolerance if transplanted to a cooler reefProject management: Assisted with and independently conducted physiological analyses to assess potential climate change impacts on coral samples from Ningaloo Reef and the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Primary response variables were measured via photochemical efficiency, photosynthesis and respiration, and calcification. Analyzed and interpreted data at the conclusion of the experimentLab experience: Assisted with daily maintenance of mesocosm experiments including tank maintenance, basic electrical troubleshooting, and coral health upkeep
