SUMMARY
Marine biologist and filmmaker Uli Kunz won a Scientists at Work award for an image of divers investigating coral adaptation to warming oceans. The photograph, taken off the Saudi Arabian coast, features scientists from KAUST at a "marine microbiome lab." Kunz used a Sony A7S III with a Nauticam housing and WACP2 lens, aiming for specific light reflections in the divers' masks. He hopes the image will educate people, including decision-makers, about real-world environmental issues.
