MCR LTER:

Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research (MCR LTER)
The MCR LTER is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded program focused on exploring the diverse coral reef ecosystem surrounding the island of Moorea in French Polynesia. As a senior research technician in the MCR LTER I am involved in several key core research programs.

Data sets associated with Vincent Moriarty:
  1. knb-lter-mcr.4- Long-term Population and Community Dynamics: Corals
  2. knb-lter-mcr.4001- Coral Community Dynamics: Coral Recruitment
  3. knb-lter-mcr.4002- Community Dynamics: Juvenile Coral Density
  4. knb-lter-mcr.4003- Benthic Community Dynamics: Island Scale Coral Cover Analysis
  5. knb-lter-mcr.4005- Benthic Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)
  6. knb-lter-mcr.5006- Computer Vision: Moorea Labeled Corals
  7. knb-lter-mcr.7- Long-term Population and Community Dynamics: Other Benthic Invertebrates
  8. knb-lter-mcr.8- Benthic Algae and Other Community Components
  9. knb-lter-mcr.1038- Long-term Community Dynamics: Backreef (Lagoon) Corals Annual Survey
  10. knb-lter-mcr.18- Rates of benthic coral reef community metabolism
  11. knb-lter-mcr.19- Estimates of component primary production and respiration
  12. knb-lter-mcr.20- Coral Reef: Macroalgal CHN

CSUN OA Team:

California State University at Northridge Ocean Acidification Project (CSUN OA)
The CSUN OA project is an 8 year NSF funded grant exploring the effects of ocean acidification on coral reefs. I am part of a talented team of professors, students, and researchers who are working to understand the complex relationship between predicted changes in the chemistry of the ocean and reef organisms.
