Research Statement

Joanie Kleypas specializes in the ecology and geology of coral reefs at the global scale. At NCAR, she examines how climate affects coral reefs, but also how coral reefs affect climate. She combines data synthesis, modeling, and field work to analyze factors that control reef development. She currently focuses on how coral reefs are affected by environmental changes associated with global climate change, such as increases in sea surface temperature and ocean acidification.
