Climate Change Is Devastating #coralreefs Worldwide. What's 14% decline some ask ? About 20 time more than the half-percent changes in finance and employment indicators that make the markets shudder! ICRI Secretariat CORDIO East Africa nytimes.com/2021/10/04/cli…

Our latest research in Ecology with Christopher Doropoulos, Marine Gouezo, Damian Thomson and Peter Mumby documenting the exceptionally rapid recovery of coral reefs in #Palau following #supertyphoon disturbance through the emergence of dormant cryptic coral recruits #seedbanks

Having completed aerial surveys with Australian Institute of Marine Science, today we confirm the fourth mass bleaching event on the #GreatBarrierReef in seven years and the first ever under La Niña conditions. #climatechange #ClimateAction

Larval reseeding techniques disperse millions of coral larvae on damaged reefs. Where do these larvae go and how many actually settle? Christopher Doropoulos and I colour coral larvae to track dispersal and settlement in these critical early life history stages journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Advanced imaging technology helps monitor baby corals on #GreatBarrierReef @SCUonline Methods in Ecology and Evolution doi.org/gsh5nz phys.org/news/2023-07-a…

Understanding how baby corals establish themselves and grow into adult corals is important if we want to help reefs recover devastating events such as mass bleaching and cyclones. Marine Gouezo + Christopher Doropoulos share new research: CSIRO @SCUonline theconversation.com/through-the-ma…

At the recent LIRRF 50th Anniversary dinner in Sydney, Dr Anne Hoggett AM and Dr Lyle Vail AM were awarded the 2023 Australian Museum Research Institute Lifetime Achievement Award! 🎉 Find out more about the award, and the celebrations, Australian Museum: australian.museum/blog/amri-news…

Tracking the fate of bleached corals: we have a LOT of georeferenced orthomosaics (above and below water) from the northern GBR that will be open source and freely available for analysis and follow up surveys. More information to come, DM for details in the interim 🪸

The 2024 mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef in numbers (preliminary analysis): - 46% of reefs experienced record high DHW - new record of 17.7 DHW from the southern GBR - 37% of the GBR has been exposed to three or more >6DHW events in the past decade (1/n)

Your research is still valuable even if you don't publish in the "top" academic journals.
