Janice Lough is recognized as a world leader in developing high-resolution environmental and growth histories from corals, assessing the nature and consequences of climate change for coral reefs and for the people who depend on them. Her research career and contributions to science focus on three main areas: i) developing and interpretation of novel high-resolution reconstructions of paleo-climates; ii) determining the nature, causes and consequences of climate variability and anthropogenic climate change for tropical coral reefs; and iii) ground-breaking research on the development and interpretation of coral calcification histories, from coral cores.
