Description
The International Coral Reef Society (ICRS) Graduate Fellowships help postgraduate research students cover fieldwork and visits to other laboratories to obtain results for their degree theses. The program supports research into social, biological, and ecological processes relevant to improving coral reef management at local, regional, or global scales. It aims to help students develop skills and address problems in coral reef ecosystem science and management.
Relevant questions include reef disturbances and resilience, climate change and adaptation, reef connectivity, marine protected areas, fishery impacts, and effective management practices. Past projects have examined coral reproduction, disease, thermal stress, restoration, microbial communities, pollution, food webs, and conservation governance. Alongside funding, ICRS helps successful candidates connect with society members who may assist their research.
