We did benthic, geomorphic and now reef extent for every reef in the world, what’s next?RemoteSensing_UQ @UQ_sees UQ Science in collaboration with Allen Coral Atlas, powered by ASU #ACRS2022

172 years of global warming shown 90 seconds. Adding carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere by using fossil fuels is transforming the Earth.

I confess, this is terrifying. Takes my breath away terrifying. I am out of superlatives to describe the present moment. And tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow? No idea. Data: climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily…

This is getting ridiculous. OISST provides a real-time daily index of ocean surface temperature (60 S - 60 N). For the last month it has been continuously reading higher than in any previous year and still shows no sign of settling.

NEWS: New AI algorithm could level the playing field for countries with historically data poor fisheries. Understanding fish stocks is critical to sustainably managing fisheries and ensuring they can continue to provide crucial livelihoods and nutrition. bit.ly/3IgK88o

The alarming anomaly in #Antarctic sea-ice extent continues to increase. But there's something even more extraordinary going on... (a short thread) Graphic: Phil Reid, Bureau of Meteorology, Australia

Always love a group pic with our awesome HIRS team!

🔥📈BREAKING NASA 📈🔥 The Earth Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data broke through 1.8 W/m² (12-month mean)! This is faster than I expeced. More than many experts thought possible. I called this the most important graph in the world. A lot more heat is accumulating!

Spied a COTS on the reef flat yesterday! Will often see one or two around but this was my first sighting on the reef flat - 📷Dr Caitlin Alinya Lawson

If you look closely you can see our Scientific Officer Dr Caitlin Alinya Lawson demonstrating the correct use of a parasol ;)

Never know what new critters you'll see on a night reef walk at Heron Island. Pretty sure this is a Black Velutinid (Coriocella nigra) #gbrmpa #heronisland 🎥 Dr Caitlin Alinya Lawson

Climate scientists warn nature's 'anaesthetics' have worn off, now Earth is feeling the pain as ocean heating hits record highs abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…

At our Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action Roundtable on Summer Preparedness, Bushfires & National Security, former Defence Chief Admiral Chris Barrie spelled out the scale of national security threat posed by global warming. We must accelerate our climate response. #auspol

We tend to drown in the complexity & our inability to bend the global curve of fossil-fuel emissions. Here is the obvious 1st step to succeed - stop subsidizing oil, gas & coal. 7 trillion USD. Almost 10% of the global economy… Let, at least, clean energy compete on fair terms.

"Current policies are taking the world to a 2.8 degree temperature rise...that spells catastrophe, yet the collective response remains pitiful." – António Guterres There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables

President Xi says that Planet Earth is big enough for US and China to succeed. Sorry, but this is incorrect. US and China (≈50% of global emissions) can alone crash 1.5°C limit. Planet Earth is NOT big enough for US and China under current economic logic apnews.com/article/biden-…
