The Project
HABISS project investigates the interactions between the geomorphology of CWC reefs and their surrounding hydrodynamics, which regulate food and oxygen supply to corals. Expertise in marine geology, oceanography and benthic ecology were integrated across different spatial scales through the usage of standard and state-of-the-art equipment, like marine robotics and cabled/moored observing infrastructures.
HABISS started in June 2020 and is led by Claudio Lo Iacono at the Marine Science Institute of the Spanish National Research Council.
