Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS) in the Maldives – A rapid system to determine standardized coral thermal thresholds in the field


Dates: 9th to 17th December 2024

Location: MaRHE Center, Magoodhoo, Maldives

Registrations for this workshop are now open!

The workshop will be held by Prof. Christian Voolstra a renowned coral reef researcher and ICRS President, whose long-standing interest in diagnosing coral thermal tolerance spurred the development of the Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System (CBASS), which is now the most popular, rapid and standardized heat stress assay and platform for determining coral bleaching tolerance in the field and identifying naturally heat resistant coral populations for conservation and restoration.

The workshop includes a series of classroom lessons, training sessions, CBASS practical activities, and field activities including SCUBA diving and it is open to students (master or PhD), researchers and professionals holding a dive license. Click here to see full workshop program.

Registrations are open until 20th September 2024
