SUMMARY:BioCity Guest Seminar: Coral reefs - why they are vanishing and the
  photosynthesis connection
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Tony Larkum\, University of Technology Sydney\, Australia
 \n\nHost: Eva-Mari Aro (evaaro@utu.fi)\n\nCoffee/tea and sandwhich is serv
 ed at 11:45\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nEarly work of Prof. Larkum was concerned with th
 e processes of ion uptake in roots and giant algal cells. However\, his in
 terest in sub-aquatic physiology led increasingly to programs involving al
 gae and seagrasses. More recently\, much of Prof. Larkum’s research effo
 rt in this area has been devoted to photoinhibition and UV inhibition of a
 lgae and corals including algae in coral reefs and coral bleaching mechani
 sms and since 1997 his major work has been devoted to understanding the ph
 enomenon of mass coral bleaching\, which has been linked to increase in su
 rface sea temperatures and thus to global warming. In addition Prof. Larku
 m has been interested in novel cyanobacteria\, such as Acaryochloris\, whi
 ch have novel chlorophylls capable of absorbing near infra-red light. A fu
 rther interest has been the choice and use of microalgae for biofuel resea
