Having begun my career in the Philippines, I documented the impacts of dynamite blasting and severe overfishing on coral reefs, while witnessing the establishment of some of the most successful Marine Protected Areas in the world. My interests as a coral biologist have always centered around finding approaches to mitigating the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on coral health; melding science and management. My lab seeks to understand the environmental drivers of coral diseases, their impacts on coral communities, and, with the recent increase of severe mass bleaching events, links between bleaching and subsequent disease. Watching a disturbing amount of mass mortality in Guam has brought my students and I back to my roots in coral propagation and restoration, as a management tool for conservation in the face of a rapidly shifting environment. Thus, my lab is composed of a unique collection of people with diverse interests ranging from coral culture and propagation to the physiology of stress responses to managing disease and bleaching in reef restoration efforts.

Doctoral Student

Whitney Hoot

Email: whitney.hoot@gmail.com
Research: Whitney Hoot is a PhD student in Dr. Raymundo’s Coral Lab through UOG’s partnership with the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Her doctoral research is focused on integrating ecological and socio-economic considerations to enhance the success of coral reef restoration efforts in the Pacific Islands. For her dissertation, she is assessing the impact of various coral outplanting methods on coral colony growth and survival and on the duration and intensity of transplant stress after outplanting. For the social science component of her interdisciplinary research, she is constructing a semi-quantitative framework to prioritize reef flat sites around Guam for restoration efforts and conducting a global meta-study of terminology used in reef restoration practice across regions and sectors.

Research: I am interested in looking into the morphological plasticity of staghorn corals as a direct response to changing environmental factors and how this plasticity may affect/inform coral restoration efforts and decision making.

Grace McDermott

Advisor: Dr. Laurie Raymundo
Research: My research focuses on coral responses to bleaching and other stressors through the study of phenotypic traits that confer long term coral reef resilience.

Claire Moreland-Ochoa

Email: moreland-ochoac@triton.uog.edu
Research: I am interested in small- and large-scale coral restoration work. I work in the field monitoring outplanting sites and maintaining two coral nurseries which focus mainly on the propagation of staghorn coral (Acropora). My thesis involves studying the threatened octocoral Heliopora coerulea, otherwise known as Blue Coral. This species is important because it is considered a reef-building species and has been proven to be bleaching resistant. I am working on determining if this coral can be used as a restoration coral on Guam through lab and field monitoring and experimentation.

About

Current Position: Graduate Student (2019-Present)

Previous Education: Bachelors of Science from Cornell University

Previous Relevant Work: I was an intern in the Ocean Acidification Program at Mote's International Center for Coral Reef Research & Restoration in the Florida Keys. This program focused on characterizing the physiological effects of changing ocean pH, as well as temperature and nutrient concentration, on marine organisms found within coral reef and coastal ecosystems. I participated in designing, setting up, and maintaining experiments within the outside ocean acidification experimental water system (OAFTERU) and gained experience in coral and marine organism husbandry. I also learned techniques for measuring and analyzing seawater carbonate chemistry, water quality, and animal physiology (photosynthesis/ respiration, calcification rates, photochemical efficiency).
