Impact of Three Bleaching Events on the Reef Resiliency of Kāne‘ohe Bay, Hawai‘i

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Coral bleaching events have been increasing in frequency and severity worldwide. The most prolonged global bleaching event began in 2014 and continued into 2017 impacting more reefs than any previous occurrence.

Improved Characterization of Coral Bleaching Patterns From a Percentile‐Based Threshold Model

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract Tropical corals are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic global warming and marine heatwaves. However, questions remain about how to best characterize potential heat stress relevant to coral bleaching. The degree heating week (DHW) metric has guided bleaching risk assessments for ∼25 years.

Recurring bleaching events disrupt the spatial properties of coral reef benthic communities across scales

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Marine heatwaves are causing recurring coral bleaching events on tropical reefs that are driving ecosystem change. Yet, little is known about how bleaching and subsequent coral mortality impacts the spatial properties of tropical seascapes, such as ...

Optimization of thermal stress thresholds on regional coral bleaching monitoring by satellite measurements of sea surface temperature

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coral bleaching events have become more frequent in recent years due to the impact of widespread marine heatwaves. The Coral Reef Watch (CRW) program, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), assesses bleaching risk by ...

Vulnerability of corals to seawater warming -Winter School on Impact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 [PDF]

, 2008
Coral reefs are the most diverse marine habitat, which support an estimated 0.5 to 2.0 million species in the world oceans. They are among the most sensitive of all ecosystems to temperature changes, exhibiting bleaching (a phenomenon in which the ...

Caution: Do Not Bleach! [PDF]

In this lesson, students will investigate the importance of coral reefs to the Earth as a whole and learn some possible explanations for the phenomenon known as "coral bleaching". They should be able to identify ways that coral reefs benefit human beings,
