ResourceU.S. climate impact summaries with new IPCC CMIP6 data
To aid conservation, restoration and efforts to protect coral reefs we produce updated projections of coral reef futures. We will use CMIP6 data to project coral bleaching globally at native model scale (markedly higher than before, 1/4º), produce maps, c...
ResourceModeling contribution to IPCC 6th Assessment Report WG II
To project reef futures using the new generation of GCMs and present these results in the WG II report I will:1) Confer with lead authors to design and plan analysis.2) Acquire new model data (OA and SST for what will be available (this will not be the fu...
ResourceClimate and resilience-based decision-support tools to maximize coral transplant survivorship and reef recovery in Florida
Purpose/need –Out-planting is the very last part of the significant investment in growing corals in nurseries. This last step carries a low cost relative to nursery maintenance but is the most important step for achieving nursery goals. The overarching go...
ResourceMonitoring Ocean Acidification from Space in the Pacific
Purpose/Need To manage and conserve coral reefs effectively we need to establish base lines describing current environmental variables, monitor those conditions and accurately project future changes. Baselines and trends in ocean acidification, although o...
ResourceModeling reef futures using a high resolution modular ocean model
Purpose/Need To effectively manage coral reefs under stress from climate change, accurate projections of coral bleaching and ocean acidification are needed. Currently global climate models operate on large spatial scales, often with resolutions coarser th...
