Biography
Michel R. G. Claereboudt is an Associate professor as well Assistant Dean, Postgraduate Studies & Research of the Department of Marine Science and Fisheries in the Sultan Qaboos University
Research Interest
Understanding of the development of benthic coastal communities, in particular coral reef communities. Today it focuses on three aspects: (1) the monitoring of benthic communities using video transects and semi-automatic substrate identification, (2) the diversity, distribution, abundances and taxonomy of anthozoans (corals, soft-corals and sea-anemones) and echinoderms and (3) the changes in coral community structure over time and under stress.
