This research program has three facets: (1) the measurement of the dynamics of coral populations and communities; (2) elucidation of the mechanisms responsible for these dynamics; and (3) the development of mathematical models useful in predicting change and organization of reef populations and communities. Connell is widely seen as a leader in marine ecology today through his contributions to ecological theory and the excellent empirical studies tesing theories developed. He and his collaborator Dr. Hughes have been major contributors in our understanding of reef systems.

该研究计划包括三个方面：（1）珊瑚种群和群落动态的测量； (2) 阐明造成这些动态的机制； (3) 开发可用于预测珊瑚礁种群和群落变化和组织的数学模型。康奈尔因其对生态理论的贡献和测试理论的出色实证研究而被广泛视为当今海洋生态学的领导者。他和他的合作者休斯博士为我们了解珊瑚礁系统做出了主要贡献。
