According to a recent study published on Phys.org Earth Sciences, scientists are urging for a major acceleration in coral assisted evolution research to help reefs cope with rapidly warming oceans. Led by Dr. Adriana Humanes and Dr. Juan Ortiz, the international team of 28 experts identified promising discoveries that highlight the potential of assisted evolution to help mitigate the impact of climate change in reefs. While this research may seem unrelated to mineral exploration, it underscores the importance of adapting to climate change, a crucial consideration for the mining industry. As reported on Phys.org, this study emphasizes the need for fundamental changes to generate knowledge quickly, a principle that can be applied to various fields, including geology and mineral discovery.
