DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nCoral reefs are experiencing increasing stress a
 s climate change warms and acidifies the oceans. This is causing mortality
  events in the least-suitable places\, while areas at higher latitudes may
  become suitable for future growth of reefs and the biodiversity and ecosy
 stem services they provide.\nPresent-day conservation measures currently d
 o not account for this biogeographical shift. This project looks for suita
 bility signals in long-term historic and forecast climatological data in a
 n effort to contextualise future conservations efforts.\nIn the meantime\,
  a number of side-quests will be explored\, ranging from a quantitative me
 ta-analysis of species' responses to climatological shifts to a foray into
  remote sensing of shallow water habitats.\nThis talk is an informal updat
 e of my thought processes so far\, an invited sanity-check from anyone kin
 d enough to provide it\, and a search for future directions of exploration
 . Questions\, criticisms\, and suggestions highly desired!\n\n*Bio*\n\nOrl
 ando is a second-year PhD student with the AI4ER CDT. Supervised by Oscar 
 Branson (Earth Sciences)\, he is interested in the opportunities and limit
 ations for modelling marine ecosystems – particularly coral reefs – p
 osed by the data available today.
