Project 1.3 Factsheet: Characterising the cumulative impacts of global, regional and local stressors on the present and past biodiversity of the GBR

Using pioneering high-precision geological dating and palaeoecological techniques, combined with high-resolution geochemical analysis of coral records, this project will investigate how coral communities have historically responded to acute (e.g. cyclones) and chronic (e.g. water quality) disturbances.
