Professor Iliana Baums is vice director and head of the marine conservation department at the Helmholtz Institute for Functional Marine Biodiversity (HIFMB) at the University of Oldenburg, Germany. She is a leading expert on coral conservation genetics founded on her studies of the molecular evolution and ecology of corals and their symbionts. Over the past ten years, her research has focused on discovering the factors that promote and limit the ability of corals to adapt to rapid climate change and develop tools and strategies for effective coral restoration. The Baums lab showed that not only can coral larvae can inherit somatic mutations from their parents, somatic mutations can be used to age long lived coral genets. In an ongoing effort to provide accurate and high-throughput genotyping services and genomic resources to the coral restoration community the Baums lab designed the first commercially available coral genotyping chip. Along with the genotyping chip the team developed an open-access, point-and-click bioinformatics workflow that standardizes the analysis and was the key technological innovation that underpins genetic management of threatened Caribbean coral genets. Baums has contributed to and led international coral conservation working groups. She chairs the ‘genetics and science’ working group of the international Consortium for Reef Conservation and led the development of restoration guidelines for the Caribbean region. She co-chaired a workshop on the failure of sexual recruitment in the Caribbean that developed a service blueprint for the restoration community.  Baums also serves on the scientific advisory board of SECORE, the Sexual Coral Reproduction Foundation, a conservation initiative.

Baums has co-authored over 100 articles in peer-reviewed journals and books and has delivered presentations on her research around the world. She was elected as a fellow of the International Coral Reef Society in 2024 and has received numerous prizes for her work. Baums joined the Helmholtz Institute for functional marine biodiversity at the University of Oldenburg as a Professor and Group leader in Marine Conservation in September of 2022. Previously, she was a full professor of Biology at the Pennsylvania State University. She had joined Penn State in August, 2006, as an assistant professor of biology.

She earned her doctorate degree at the University of Miami in 2003 and her Diplom in marine biology from the University of Bremen in Germany in 2000.

Mark Spalding is a Senior Marine Scientist at The Nature Conservancy and also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He has led the field in understanding large scale patterns in coral reefs, commencing with global maps (he published the World Atlas of Coral Reefs in 2001), and followed by assessments of biogeography, reef health and key threats (Reefs at Risk). For the last decade his work has focused more closely on mapping the ecosystem service benefits of coral reefs (tourism, coastal protection and fisheries enhancement), believing that better communication of these values will support conservation efforts, while also supporting human well-being. His work has also led him into global assessments of mangroves forests and seagrass ecosystems. He has authored multiple books and over 100 peer reviewed publications.

While large-scale mapping and modelling is central, Mark has also remained grounded, notably with his work in the Chagos Archipelago which he calls the last coral reef wilderness, and which he has visited regularly since 1996. He is passionate to support its future management, as this Archipelago transitions to Mauritian jurisdiction in 2026.

I examine how kelp forests and coral reefs function today and how this will be altered by future climate change. Recent work focuses on determining mechanisms of resistance/tolerance against climate change exploring the role of organism physiological, adaptive/acclamatory processes, and environmental interactions. My work combines a strong ecological background with organism physiology to test multiple alternative hypotheses. Recently I have been working on better estimates of future coral reef carbonate production, as well as projecting future ecosystem states.

Professor David Suggett is Director for the KAUST Coral Restoration Initiative (KCRI) at Shushah Island, Saudi Arabia – the world’s largest reef restoration effort – and a Professor in Practice at KAUST. He is a world leading expert in coral biology and how corals shape the functioning of reef systems, from scales spanning coral reef microbes to human-ecological interactions. Prior to moving to KAUST in 2023, he was a Professor at University of Technology Sydney, where he established and led the "Future Reefs" Program, Australia's largest team dedicated to unlocking how the environment and climate change influence corals of the Great Barrier Reef – a major focus of which was developing and applying novel technologies for resolving how corals function. This work led to a world-first partnership between researchers and tourism (the largest economic asset to the Great Barrier Reef) to restore degraded sites at scale, the "Coral Nurture Program", which he co-founded and led for 4 years. Work through the Coral Nurture Program has led to innovative methods to propagate and plant coral for reef restoration, and in recognition as a global model for successful targeted reef restoration, become an official Actor for the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration in 2022. He has contributed to numerous international committees and workshops for studying and conserving coral reefs, and has served the Coral Restoration Consortium - the international body dedicated to advancing knowledge on reef restoration – in several capacities since 2020. He has been a leading advocate for restoration activities as effective tools within wider reef management frameworks, and where his current role positions global efforts to develop and deploy innovations needed to transform restoration cost-efficiencies and scalability.

Gareth Williams is Professor of Marine Biology and Director of Research Impact at Bangor University's School of Ocean Sciences, UK. His work focuses on the effects of local and global human impacts and biophysical gradients on coral reefs across multiple trophic levels (microbes to sharks) and scales (individual reefs to entire ocean basins). Much of his work incorporates remote coral reefs free from direct local human impacts, providing key replication at the unimpacted end of an intact-to-degraded ecosystem spectrum. By surveying across extensive geographical areas, his research group address broad questions pertaining to: 1. the human and biophysical drivers of coral reef ecosystem structure and function, 2. climate change impacts to coral reef ecosystems, and 3. the spatial ecology of coral reefs. His recent works have highlighted the impacts of global warming and local human pressures on reef structure and function, the importance of coupled land-sea policies (like wastewater management and fisheries governance) for supporting reef persistence under climate change, and the need to better quantify ocean-reef connections to improve our models and predictions of reef futures.

Prof. Shady Amin is interested in studying symbiotic relationships between eukaryotes and their microbiome in aquatic ecosystems and their importance to ecosystem function, the evolution of the eukaryotic cell, and the effect climate change has on these critical interactions. During his doctoral studies with the late Prof. Carl Carrano at UC San Diego/San Diego State University, he showed that some marine bacteria can provide bioavailable iron to their dinoflagellate and diatom hosts, which may enable these algal lineages to grow in large swaths of the oceans that are iron limited. During his postdoctoral work with Prof. Ginger Armbrust at the University of Washington, he uncovered a widespread signaling mechanism between diatoms and members of their microbiome based on the hormone indole-acetate. In 2015, he joined NYU in its Abu Dhabi campus, where his lab, the Marine Microbiomics Lab, studies the influence of the microbiome on phytoplankton physiology and implications to global biogeochemistry, the role the coral microbiome plays in coral adaptation to climate change, the biogeochemistry of the Arabian Gulf, harmful algal blooms, and utilizing marine microbes to heal cement and reduce soil erosion.
