Ding, Dong, The Witch is Dead (?) - Three Years of Global Coral Bleaching 2014-2017
"In 2016, we wrote in Reef Encounter about the ongoing Third Global Coral Bleaching Event, which was forecast to continue into 2017 (Eakin et al. 2016). As predicted, the 2015-16 strong El Nino formed, worsening the bleaching, and was followed by a La Nin...
Projected changes to growth and mortality of Hawaiian corals over the next 100 years
"Background:Recent reviews suggest that the warming and acidification of ocean surface waters predicated by most accepted climate projections will lead to mass mortality and declining calcification rates of reef-building corals. This study investigates th...
