From 2013-2016, I had the amazing opportunity to traverse nearly half the globe with the Living Oceans Foundation as part of their “Global Reef Expedition.”

Below I have presented a single iconic image of each of the regions we visited (from French Polynesia to Chagos), though much greater detail can be found elsewhere on the site. My goal is to provide all habitat images, sampled coral images, habitat data, and sampled coral data (genotype, physiology, & molecular biology) on this website, but it will be a work in progress, as the datasets are already huge and still growing even all these years later. For the time being, a list of all corals sampled can be downloaded here. For a list of all genotyped colonies, including NCBI accession numbers, please click here. For a list of all biological material available to share, please see this document. Project reports for the surveyed regions can be found below. 

Of course, I have worked in many other places, and my beloved Taiwan may well be the world's best place to study the environmental physiology of corals given the diverse array of reefs with very different temperature profiles in near proximity of each other.
