Coral Reef Ecology
Members of the Smith Lab get to travel the world to conduct their coral reef research, but PhD student Levi Lewis reminds us that when you live in San Diego, life is not too bad.
Levi Lewis shares his luck by showing us some rare species he managed to capture on film from the reefs in Maui, Hawaii. For some of us, this may be the only glimpse we’ll ever get of these cute creatures!
Levi Lewis, a PhD student in the Smith Lab, does a lot of research on the beautiful island of Maui. But as the years go by he’s seen a lot of changes that have significantly affected the beautiful and thriving coral reefs.
PhD student Levi Lewis isn’t the only one getting busy in Maui, Hawaii. While working on Kapalua, a county located on the island of Maui, he witnessed a perhaps slightly disturbing but totally awesome site – nature at its finest.
Summer may be at its peak, but members of the Smith Lab at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) are still hard at work! Some are out & about around the world checking on their experiments and collecting data, others are right here in San Diego learning new skills and working on various projects. Find out what people are up to!
