About this Event
Danny Collins is a third-year PhD student in Stanford
Universityʼs Oceans Department whose research focuses
on coral recovery in a rapidly changing ocean. Rising
ocean temperatures are driving coral bleaching around
the world, threatening coral reefs and the ecosystems they
support. But bleaching does not always mean the end for
a coral—some are able to recover despite these stressful
conditions.
Dannyʼs research explores how healthy corals can help
accelerate the recovery of bleached corals, offering a
natural pathway for restoring damaged reefs. By
understanding what allows corals to recover, his work
could help inform new approaches to protecting and
rebuilding coral reef ecosystems in the face of climate
change.
