Ancient corals hold the blueprint for our planet's future
In short: By exploring massive undersea mountains and retrieving thousand-year-old corals, oceanographer Laura Robinson is decoding the history of our changing seas to predict what lies ahead.
Robinson investigates steep underwater slopes hundreds of meters below the surface. Her primary objective is to locate and test ancient coral structures within a nuclear reactor.
This process allows researchers to analyze how the ocean has transformed over millennia. By reconstructing these environmental histories, Robinson seeks to identify patterns that can help scientists anticipate future shifts in the global ocean.
