Atlantic Ocean Acidification Test-Bed -- Net Ecosystem Calcification and Net Ecosystem Productivity, Flower Garden Banks, FY2015
The AOAT project is engaged in monitoring/modeling efforts designed to: a) establish
methodologies for monitoring, assessing, and modeling the impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA) on coral reef ecosystems,
b) identify critical thresholds, impacts, and tren...
Space-For-Time: Elucidating the thermal and chemical ramifications of climate change on coral reefs with real-world example
This oral presentation by Derek Manzello, which provides real-world examples of climate change and ocean acidification impacts on coral reefs, was made at the AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon, February 22-26, 2010.

The AOAT project is engaged in monitoring/modeling efforts designed to: a) establish
methodologies for monitoring, assessing, and modeling the impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA) on coral reef ecosystems,
b) identify critical thresholds, impacts, and tren...
Coral reef damage 'is most likely climate change rearing its ugly head'
"As a research oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Miami, Manzello discusses how ocean acidification and changes in water temperature are threatening coral reef ecosystems in this Op-Ed article. "Both heat stress that...
Increasing coral calcification in Orbicella faveolata and Pseudodiploria strigosa at Flower Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico
Coral reefs are globally in decline and western Atlantic reefs have experienced the greatest losses in live coral cover of any region. The Flower Garden Banks (FGB) in the Gulf of Mexico are high-latitude, remote reefs that are an outlier to this trend, a...
Seasonal Carbonate Chemistry Dynamics on Southeast Florida Coral Reefs: Localized Acidification Hotspots From Navigational Inlets
This study evaluates the impact of assimilating high-resolution, inner-core reconnaissance observations on tropical cyclone initialization and prediction in the 2013 version of the operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) Model. The 2...
Shotgun Proteomic Analysis of Thermally Challenged Reef Corals
Although coral reef ecosystems across the globe are in decline due to climate change and other anthropogenic stressors, certain inshore reefs of the Upper Florida Keys reef tract have persisted, with some even thriving, under marginalized conditions. To b...
Pacific-wide pH snapshots reveal that high coral cover correlates with low, but variable pH
Ocean acidification (OA) is impairing the construction of coral reefs while simultaneously accelerating their breakdown. The metabolism of different reef organism assemblages alters seawater pH in different ways, possibly buffering or exacerbating OA impa...
Growth rates of Porites astreoides and Orbicella franksi in mesophotic habitats surrounding St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands
Functional profiles of microbial communities are typically generated using comprehensive metagenomic or metatranscriptomic sequence read searches, which are time-consuming, prone to spurious mapping, and often limited to community-level quantification. We...
