The project will advance our understanding of coral biomineralization by developing a novel, non-invasive method for real-time imaging of skeletal formation in live reef-building corals using 4D X-ray microcomputed tomography. By capturing high-resolution structural changes over time, we seek to uncover the dynamic processes behind coral skeletogenesis and how they are influenced by environmental stressors such as ocean acidification. The methodology developed will provide a powerful platform for interdisciplinary research at the intersection of marine biology, imaging science, and environmental change.
