Atypical weather patterns cause coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia during the 2021–2022 La Niña [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Widespread coral bleaching was observed over the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, the world’s largest coral reef during the 2021–2022 La Niña. This raised concerns that background global warming may have crossed a critical threshold causing thermal stress ...

New constraints on the postglacial shallow-water carbonate accumulation in the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 More accurate global volumetric estimations of shallow-water reef deposits are needed to better inform climate and carbon cycle models. Using recently acquired datasets and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 325 cores, we calculated ...

Challenges of sperm cryopreservation in transferring heat adaptation of corals across ocean basins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Reef-building corals live very close to their upper thermal limits and their persistence is imperiled by a rapidly warming climate. Human interventions may be used to increase the thermal limits of sensitive corals by cross-breeding with heat-adapted ...
