Fan Coral Lab

We are a coral ecology lab based in southern Taiwan interested in climate change resistance/resilience, coral reef community dynamics, and coral aquaculture.

[Fan Coral Lab @FanCoralLab]

Thanks @ICRSreefstudent for the feature on our lab! If anyone would like more information about our work, please feel free to get in touch with us!

[ICRS Student & Early Career Chapter @ICRSreefstudent]

🔸Meet the team: ⁦@FanCoralLab⁩ 🔸

The lab is based in southern #Taiwan 🇹🇼

The group works with coral community dynamics, thermal tolerance, #aquaculture, #coralreef #restoration, and marine ecology educational outreach.

#coral paper! Ever wonder how coral responses in the lab and field match up? We examined how colonies from reefs in #Taiwan responded to a heat-stress assay #CBASS & compared this to photogrammetry monitoring of colonies before/after a marine heatwave. https://t.co/3Jns8RlMr3

@CoralReefWatch has introduced new Bleaching Alert Levels (3-5) in response to 2023's unprecedented #MarineHeatwaves. The revised system provides additional detail to help #CoralReef managers prepare for and take action during times of extreme heat stress.

🪸 Scripps Oceanography scientists are revolutionizing #CoralReef conservation by using software to stitch together overlapping underwater images to create photorealistic 3D models of reefs that can quantify important changes, like coral growth, over time. Dive in. ⬇️ 🤿 🧵

Understanding how #coral & their symbionts perform under non-stressed conditions helps put responses to heat-stress in context. Check out this paper led by our lab's postdoc @CrystalJMcRae on baseline dynamics in Symbiodiniaceae hosted by corals in Taiwan https://t.co/55Cs80S2rb

[Crystal J McRae @CrystalJMcRae]

📢🪸 New paper out looking at algal symbiont dynamics (genera & photochemical efficiency) under non-stressed conditions. 15 month in-situ monitoring study assessing three coral species at reefs with different thermal histories in Taiwan. Paper link:
