Skeletal Core Scans

Caption

The skeletal cores were scanned at the Computerized Scanning and Imaging Facility at WHOI. The Computerized Axial Tomography technology generates a 3-D image of the cores, revealing detailed information not visible to the naked eye. Coral bioerosion, including these round borings made by bivalves, increases under low-pH conditions.
