The Arctic Futures Game and the Coral Futures Game do more than teach environmental science. They immerse players in fragile ecosystems and show how individual and collective choices can help protect them.
These digital games are teaching players about the world's most fragile ecosystems

Island of Coral Resilience Shows Hope – and Limits – for Reefs’ Future
July 10, 2018
In 2014, leading coral scientists put out a blunt report: reefs in the Caribbean were in such bad shape they were at risk of vanishing within two decades. And that was before the most recent global coral-bleaching crisis hit the region hard in 2015.
Meet the supervisors who helped to shape four scientists’ careers
January 12, 2019
Supervisors can help to shape the lives and careers of their students and trainees. Sometimes, they become lifelong mentors and eventual collaborators, contributing to a new generation of scientific discovery. And students can forge meaningful relationships with those senior scientists even at the earliest stages of their science careers.

Shedding Light on Coral Reefs
September 11, 2020
Earlier this year, BIOS senior scientist and coral reef ecologist Eric Hochberg published a paper in the journal Coral Reefs that put numbers to a widely accepted concept in reef science: that materials in seawater (such as phytoplankton, organic matter, or suspended sediment) can affect how much light, as well as the wavelength of light, reaches the seafloor. This, in turn, impacts the ecology of organisms, including corals and algae, that live on the seafloor and rely on that light for photosynthesis.
