About

Robert J. (Rob) Toonen is a Research Professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA. His research focuses on coral biology, including coral bleaching, calcification mechanisms, and genetic adaptation in marine environments. Recent articles highlight his work on the ecological impacts of ocean acidification, underwater zooplankton enhancement, and the integrative taxonomy of marine species in Hawai'i.
