Resilient_Reefs of the Florida Coral Reef Tract from 2005 - 2010
The data is based on the FRRP Disturbance Response Monitoring (FRRP.ORG) There were nine sampling periods between August 2005 and September 2010. In total,1176 sites were recorded. All coral colonies > 4 cm were identified to species and their diameters w...
"This document was developed during a series of meetings that took place over a five month period in Carriacou. The methods used were modified from Adapting to a Changing Climate: Guide to Local Early Action Planning (LEAP) and Management Planning in the ...
Coral reef resilience to climate change in the Florida Reef Tract
"Climate change and a range of human activities threaten the natural resilience of coral reef ecosystems. Reef resilience is the ability to resist and recover from disturbances while retaining essentially the same function and structure. Managers can supp...
Refugia under threat: Mass bleaching of coral assemblages in highâlatitude eastern Australia
Environmental anomalies that trigger adverse physiological responses and mortality are occurring with increasing frequency due to climate change. At species' range peripheries, environmental anomalies are particularly concerning because species often exis...
An in situ-satellite blended analysis of global sea surface salinity
"The blended monthly sea surface salinity (SSS) analysis, called the NOAA Blended Analysis of Surface Salinity? (BASS), is constructed for the 4 year period from 2010 to 2013. Three data sets are employed as inputs to the blended analysis: in situ SSS mea...

Severe 2010 cold-water event caused unprecedented mortality to corals of the Florida reef tract and reversed previous survivorship patterns
"Coral reefs are facing increasing pressure from natural and anthropogenic stressors that have already caused significant worldwide declines. In January 2010, coral reefs of Florida, United States, were impacted by an extreme coldwater anomaly that expose...
Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals
"During 20152016, record temperatures triggered a pan-tropical episode of coral bleaching, the third global-scale event since mass bleaching was first documented in the 1980s. Here we examine how and why the severity of recurrent major bleaching events ha...
Vectorized Shoreline of Guam, Derived from IKONOS Satellite Imagery, 2000 through 2003
IKONOS imagery was purchased to support the Pacific Islands Geographic Information System (GIS) project and the National Ocean Service's (NOS) coral mapping activities. One-meter panchromatic and four-meter multispectral data were purchased for the Territ...
Dissolved inorganic carbon, total alkalinity, pH, nutrients, and other variables collected from discrete profile observations in the southwest coast of Puerto Rico from 2009-01-16 to 2019-03-07 (NCEI Accession 0188506)
This time series dataset includes weekly and bi-weekly discrete seawater samples of pH and total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, phosphates and profile measurements of temperature and salinity from 2009 to 2019. These are used to track the dynami...
