Turbulence and Coral Reefs

open access: yesAnnual Review of Marine Science, 2021
The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in understanding turbulence in the unique setting of coral reefs—how it influences flow and the exchange of mass and momentum both above and within the complex geometry of ...

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed

Human impact on atolls leads to coral loss and community homogenisation : a modeling study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure.

Metabolomics Characterization of Scleractinia Corals with Different Life-History Strategies: A Case Study about Pocillopora meandrina and Seriatopora hystrix in the South China Sea

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
Life-history strategies play a critical role in susceptibility to environmental stresses for Scleractinia coral. Metabolomics, which is capable of determining the metabolic responses of biological systems to genetic and environmental changes, is ...

Episodic heterogeneous decline and recovery of coral cover in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Long-term changes in coral cover for the Caribbean and the Pacific/Southeast Asia regions (PSEA) have proven extremely useful in assessing the main drivers, magnitude and timescales of change.

A Comprehensive Evaluation of GRACE‐Like Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) Reconstruction Products at an Interannual Scale During 1981–2019

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2023
Given the success of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission in mapping terrestrial water storage (TWS) since 2002, recent reconstructions of long‐term TWS rely on the use of statistical machine learning to apply GRACE‐derived ...

Reimagining Coral Reefs

open access: yes, 2023
Re-Imagining Coral Reefs is a virtual reality (VR) experience aimed at communicating the climate science of coral reef research to a wider audience. Part of the London Festival of Architecture (LFA)’s programme of events, Re-Imagining Coral Reefs is ...
