As we survey the #CoralReefs of the #Kiribati Line Islands, the question is “what defines this reef?” Vostok’s reefs are notably diverse and productive, unexpected given the island’s tiny footprint (<1km^2). Does the native vegetation and high abundance of seabirds plays a role?

Great piece highlighting the engineering innovations of Vid Petrovic and Falko Kuester. Great partnerships are what help make the @100islchallenge so special. Thanks friends!!!

Researchers at the #qualcomminstitute and @Scripps_Ocean have created a massive digital archive of the world's coral reefs. The archive can help scientists study change in reefs over time and inform their conservation: bit.ly/35aX0rL. #coral #ClimateChange #UCSD

Currently on a 26-day expedition in the Maldives with our partners @WaittInstitute, @WaittFdn and @BlueProsperityC – members of the #100islandchallenge had the honor of attending and speaking at the #BluePrisperity event. We are both honored and grateful to participate.

How do I become a coral reef ecologist? The 100IC team shares science and stories about careers in #STEM during an amazing Ocean STEM event organized by the team at @Birch_Aquarium. Over 200 students attended to mingle with Scripps scientists and learn about paths to science

We love our volunteer team! Not everyone is pictured here, but we can’t thank this hard-working group of budding coral experts enough. As the lab family continues to grow, so does the data... @Scripps_Ocean

This 'little coral' is actually not little (wait for the diver icon). In fact it's called "Big Mama". The @NOAA @sanctuaries of American Samoa is home to this gentle giant. Imagine the centuries of change that this behemoth has lived through! @NOAAFish_PIFSC @Scripps_Ocean #100IC

When I got updates from the #100IC team last week, I noted that we were sampling four islands simultaneously -- Taiwan, Dongsha atoll, Jarvis island, and Biscayne Bay. Corals were growing at each. No two coral reefs are the same, and no two reefs will face the future the same.

When biology meets engineering, it can look like a video game...and that's ok. Note that our ability to make 3D reef models only happened because the gamers pushed to make computers faster (thanks GPUs!). Now we all can explore reefs virtually! @QI_UCSD @Scripps_Ocean #100IC

Congratulations to the Smith-Sandin undergraduates! Six of our students participated in the Scripps Undergraduate Research Symposium, sharing their projects with the @scripps_ocean community. A big congrats to Kyle and Karina for winning best poster!!

#100IslandChallenge #FishyFriday ! Check out a pair of masked bannerfish (Heniochus monoceros) spotted on our most recent expedition to #Palau. These fish, like most other butterflyfish, can be found in pairs or small groups in coral reef habitats.
