BUFFALO, N.Y. — Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions that have steep or ...

An innovation interface tailors 3D-printed reefs to their marine environment and may curb reef devastation plaguing global coral ecosystems. The world's coral reefs are becoming extinct due to many ...

Natural disasters such as hurricanes often leave devastation in their wake. Residents living in affected areas are sometimes displaced or require temporary shelter while their homes — or even ...

Threats to coral reefs are everywhere -- rising water temperatures, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, fishing and other human activities. But new research shows that 3-D printed coral can provide ...

A University of Texas at Arlington civil engineering researcher is trying to replicate Roman concrete by using 3D-printed materials to repair damaged or dying coral reefs. The researcher was inspired ...

In a new study, marine biologists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and Arizona State University are providing a first-of-its-kind glimpse into coral “bleaching” responses to ...

Saving coral reefs just went high-tech. A 3D-printing method to preserve the reefs has been developed by researchers from four of Israel's leading universities. Their innovation is based on the ...

What better way to teach students about worldwide ecological issues than by growing coral in a lab and documenting every step of the process ? This what Palm Beach Day Academy teachers Ashley Hollern ...

Coral reefs are complex ecosystems, a jumble of microhabitats created by corals and the substrate beneath them: holes, areas that are smooth or rough, regions with steep or shallow slopes. Where do ...
