Reef Cloverson / Coral research
Research
My M.S. research at the College of Staten Island, CUNY, focuses on coral biology, growth, and responses to changing conditions.
Current work
I am developing experimental reef systems and building experience in coral growth measurements and seawater analysis. Preliminary experiments are underway in two campus aquariums.
I am also pursuing funding for independently replicated reef systems, expanding laboratory infrastructure, and identifying facilities, methods, and collaborators on and off campus.
