Future Scenarios: A review of modelling efforts to predict the future of coral reefs in an era of climate change
"This chapter reviews recent efforts to predict the effect of future climate change on coral reefs, focusing on coral bleaching. The chapter includes and introduction to climate modeling, a review of the application of climate models to coal bleaching, a ...
Climate variability and change: Monitoring data and evidence for increased coral bleaching stress
"Coral reefs live within a fairly narrow envelope of environmental conditions constrained by water temperatures, light, salinity, nutrients, bathymetry and the aragonite saturation state of seawater. While the natural environment can be highly variable an...
Coral recruits to settlement plates at remote locations in the U.S. Pacific
Documenting the density and taxon of coral recruits to settlement plates is a widely used method of quantifying coral recruitment. Four deployments of recruitment plate arrays were made at six locations in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands at annual or bi...
"Large-scale coral bleaching was recorded as early as 1931, but severe bleaching on a regional or global scale was not documented until 1983. We use records from a global database of bleaching records to show that severe bleaching events occurred at a glo...
