An assessment of people living by coral reefs over space and time
Global Change Biology, 2022 Human populations near ecosystems are used as both a proxy for dependency on ecosystems, and conversely to estimate threats. Consequently, the number of people living near coral reefs is often used in regional coral reef management, evaluation of risk at

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]
, 2019 For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

Mapping the world's coral reefs using a global multiscale earth observation framework
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Coral reefs are among the most diverse and iconic ecosystems on Earth, but a range of anthropogenic pressures are threatening their persistence. Owing to their remoteness, broad spatial coverage and cross‐jurisdictional locations, there are no high ...

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]
, 2010 The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Interventions to help coral reefs under global change—A complex decision challenge
PLoS ONE, 2020 Climate change is impacting coral reefs now. Recent pan-tropical bleaching events driven by unprecedented global heat waves have shifted the playing field for coral reef management and policy. While best-practice conventional management remains essential,
