Jess Hargreaves (PhD candidate) from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) explores how corals can be used as indicators of climate change. This is part of a series on how climate change affects our Earth. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards.' 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 

Climate change affects the biosphere, atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere; climate change has been linked to changes in species distribution, crop productivity, sea level, rainfall patterns, surface temperature and extent of ice sheets (ACSES106)
