Topic 3. Understanding and Managing the Resilience of Coral Reefs and Associated Social Systems (MaCoRAS)MaCoRAS pursues a holistic interdisciplinary investigation of coral reef dynamics under a range of environmental constraints and scenarios of anthropogenic exploitation and pollution. a) determine key ecological processes and key environmental factors linked to local reef ecosystem functioning and resilience, The integration of diverse forms of knowledge is of crucial importance in our approach: A novel modelling framework will be developed as a tool to link knowledge and data from the fields of ecology, genetics, environmental sociology and maritime anthropology. This includes integrating different forms of knowledge as an underlying principle behind our site-specific and multidisciplinary field research. Within our research regions (Spermonde Archipelago, Sulawesi and Savu Sea) specific marine research sites will be selected jointly during the first research phase. |
