How fantastic to see the MSc research by @Macquarie_Uni Vanessa Hui Fen published. Bleaching metrics were inconsistent among datasets and did not accurately reflect high thermal stress in coral reefs. @LeicesterPalaeo @mainambui @UniofReading agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… – at Leicester, England
Inconsistent Coral Bleaching Risk Indicators Between Temperature Data Sources

Inconsistent Coral Bleaching Risk Indicators Between Temperature Data Sources

Temperature data sources did not provide consistent risk indicators for coral bleaching Across five reefs, coral bleaching risk indicators differed in their ability to predict the observed coral ...

Land-use and climate risk assessment for Earth’s remaining wilderness

Achieving future conservation goals, including zero biodiversity loss by 2030, depends on wilderness areas remaining intact. Asamoah et al. predict that land-use and climate changes combined will...

WCS has been underwater studying #coral #reefs for over 70 years. That work would not be possible without our many award-winning marine scientists from around the world. We're lucky to partner with, and learn from, these researchers every day.
