S-1-04-SP map of where navigation equipment operated

Information Specialist
Greg Piniak
Equipment Used
fluorometer
Purpose
determine physiological response of corals to elevated water temperatures on a
seasonal basis
Information to be Derived
seasonal patterns in coral PAM fluorometry
Summary
Aug 2: arrive Ofu

Aug 3: site orientation with Dan Barshis and Lance Smith (U of Hawaii)

Aug 4: site orientation and species selection

Aug 5: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 300

Aug 6: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 400, coral tissue samples for Andrew Baker (Columbia U)

Aug 7: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 400, more coral tissue samples in pool 400, assist U of Hawaii researchers with transplant study

Aug 8: PAM for dark-adapted coral transplants (Lance Smith); daytime PAM for discolored Porites corals, daytime PAM in pool 400

Aug 9: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 300, more coral tissue samples in pool 300

Aug 10: rapid light curves (PAM) for corals in pool 400 (both daytime and night-time), collect coral tissue samples at Sili for Andrew Baker

Aug 11: rapid light curves (PAM) for corals in pool 300 (both daytime and night-time), collect coral tissue samples in pool 300 for Andrew Baker

Aug 12: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 400, light-adapted corals in pool 300

Aug 13: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 300
Notes
15 coral species used for PAM study. Site names are U of Hawaii conventions I
don't have GPS coordinates but will request them from UH.
