In the Arizona desert, there’s a man-made ocean that’s helping save coral reefs. Inside Biosphere 2, University of Arizona students and researchers study coral reefs in a fully enclosed marine ecosystem, where they can control stressors like temperature and acidity. This rare setup lets scientists test restoration strategies and better understand how reefs respond to a changing climate – research that could help protect coral ecosystems around the world.
