Inside the Heads of Corals: My Quest to Understand the Ocean’s Most Extraordinary Creatures

Dr. Anne Cohen is a coral reef scientist and bio-geochemist who travels to some of the most far-flung regions of the world — ranging from the island of Palau in the western Pacific Ocean, to the Caribbean and the South China Sea — to investigate climate change and its impact on ocean life. Her work at the renowned Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts focuses on coral reefs and how ocean warming and acidification is impacting these vibrant, beautiful and diverse underwater ecosystems.
