2026 SMRE Final Presentations
The 2026 cohort of the Summer Math Research Experience (SMRE), supported by the University of Guam’s (UOG) NSF EPSCoR E-RISE, completed the program by presenting findings that apply mathematics and data analysis to a select research study focused on corals.
The SMRE program offers undergraduates advanced math research experience under UOG faculty mentorship. Students enhance problem-solving and analytical skills while working on projects with real-world applications.
The 2026 SMRE cohort expanded on a 2025 study led by Colin Lock, with co-authors CJ Anthony and E-RISE principal investigator and SMRE mentor Bastian Bentlage, Ph.D., which examined how microscopic algae (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacterial dynamics influence the transplantation survival of key reef corals (Porites lobata and Porites cylindrica) in Guam. The study found that algal and bacterial communities vary by coral species, individual colonies, and planting sites.
Both teams emphasized the importance of the conservation of reef corals, noting decreases in coral coverage and biodiversity over the years.
