'CoralWarm' European project for study on coral reefs = and global=20 warming

Officially launches this week with over =803 = million funding by=20 European Union

The European Research Council (ERC), an agency supporting = cutting-edge=20 research in the EU, has awarded a grant of more than three million Euros = to=20 conduct a study on corals and global warming to Zvy Dubinsky, a leading=20 researcher of aquatic photosynthesis at Bar-Ilan University's Mina and = Everard=20 Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, and coral biologist Stefano Goffredo = and=20 Guiseppe Falini, an expert in bio-mineralization, of Italy's University = of=20 Bologna, as well as a team of scientists including Luca Pasquini, of the = University of Bologna, and Oren Levy, a molecular biologist at Bar-Ilan. =

Palestinian scientists and students from Al-Quds University will also = collaborate on the project.=20

The project, entitled "Corals and global warming: the Mediterranean = versus=20 the Red Sea (CoralWarm)", will be carried out over a period of five = years. The=20 main goal of the project is to create a mathematical model which will = enable=20 scientists to foresee how Mediterranean and tropical coral reefs will = change=20 over the next 50-100 years, following temperature and acidity increase, = as=20 forecasted by IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.=20

Scientists involved in the project will collect data about = Meditteranean and=20 Red Sea key coral species. All the data collected from the stations = during Scuba=20 dives will then be analyzed from different approaches: the chemical,=20 bio-molecular, physiological and morphological aspects. Additional data = will be=20 collected via corals raised in aquaria at Bar-Ilan University. All of = the data=20 will help understand how coral populations will change in relation to = solar=20 radiation and pH variations.=20

Corals are major bio-constructors on earth. They build = tri-dimensional=20 habitats, which then host the rest of the food chain actors. That's why = a coral=20 reef reduction or deterioration will cause major effects not only on the = environment, but also to the economy. The negative effects will affect = fishery,=20 tourism and also the protection of coastlines that is now guaranteed by = tropical=20 coral reef.
