  1. 1. Exploring the interactive effects of light intensity and pH on coral oxygen production

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Sara Wirdemark; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : Ocean acidification; light intensity; photosynthesis;

    Abstract : The study aimed to explore the possible interaction between acidification and light intensity and the effects on corals' oxygen production. Interactions between temperature and pH have been thoroughly researched and proven to cause immense stress on the world’s reefs. READ MORE

  5. 4. Ecotoxicological effects on the coral endosymbiont Symbiodiniaceae of organic UV-filter chemicals

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Nanna Walther; [2022]
    Keywords : Environmental toxicology; Symbiodiniaceae; miljötoxikologi; phytoplankton; UV-filter chemicals; corals; environmental biology; biology; toxicology; chemicals; sunscreen; pollution; ocean; coral bleaching;

    Abstract : Coral bleaching causes the disappearance of unique ecosystems supporting thousands of different species. The corals health depends on its relationship with its endosymbiont, the zooxanthellate Symbiodiniaceae. This mutualistic relationship can be disrupted by anthropogenic chemical pollution by inducing physiologically stress in Symbiodiniaceae. READ MORE

  6. 5. Ocean Exploration with Artificial Intelligence

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Sarah Al-Khateeb; Lisa Bodlak; [2021-07-06]
    Keywords : computer science; deep learning; generative adversarial networks; data augmentation; object detection; underwater image; computer vision;

    Abstract : Large and diverse data is crucial to train object detection systems properly and achieve satisfactory prediction performance. However, in some areas, such as ma rine science, gathering sufficient data is challenging and sometimes even infeasible. Working with limited data can result in overfitting and poor performance.
