Purpose
determine physiological response of corals to elevated water temperatures on a
seasonal basis
Information to be Derived
seasonal patterns in coral PAM fluorometry

Jan 18: arrive Ofu

Jan 19: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 300

Jan 20: PAM for light-adapted corals in pool 300

Jan 21: PAM for light-adapted corals in pool 400

Jan 22: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 300

Jan 23: PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 400

Jan 24: diurnal PAM for coral off Vaoto Lodge; PAM for dark-adapted corals in pool 400

Jan 25: tag colonies in pools 300 and 400 for light curves; site orientation for Thierry Work, Doug Fenner, Greta Aeby

Jan 26: site orientation for Thierry Work, Doug Fenner, Greta Aeby; daytime rapid light curves (PAM) for corals in pool 300

Jan 27: daytime and nighttime rapid light curves (PAM) for corals in pools 300 and 400

Jan 28: remove tags from colonies; download data

Jan 29: personal day

Jan 30: finish site surveys; PAM orientation with Lance Smith and Dan Barshis (U of Hawaii)
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.
Got Help?
