| Abstract | My science fair project investigates the link between cooling climates, Devonian coral reef extinctions, and the subsequent Kellwasser event. By analyzing fossil records and geochemical data, we aim to unravel the mechanisms behind this critical transition. We draw parallels to our modern coral reefs, which face challenges due to rising temperatures and human impact. Understanding the past can guide conservation efforts for these vital ecosystems. |
