The exposure of the Great Barrier Reef to ocean acidification

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
As the oceans become acidic, corals reefs are threatened, generating a need to understand the driving forces controlling the chemical state of the Great Barrier Reef.

Energy recovery in a commercial building using pico-hydropower turbines: An Australian case study

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Optimising energy use in systems and buildings is crucial to reduce climate change. This paper aims to address the gap in knowledge for pico-hydropower (

Challenges of sperm cryopreservation in transferring heat adaptation of corals across ocean basins [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Important ecosystem function, low redundancy and high vulnerability: The trifecta argument for protecting the Great Barrier Reef's tabular Acropora

open access: yesConservation Letters, 2021
Identifying organisms that play an important role in maintaining ecosystem function is a key aspect of resilience‐based management. For Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR), we found that the recovery ability of shallow exposed fore‐reefs is more than 14

Illegal fishing and compliance management in marine protected areas: a situational approach

open access: yesCrime Science, 2021
Protected Areas (PAs) are spatially representative management tools that impose various levels of protection for conservation purposes. As spatially regulated places, ensuring compliance with the rules represents a key element of effective management and

Long-term shifts in the colony size structure of coral populations along the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2020
The age or size structure of a population has a marked influence on its demography and reproductive capacity. While declines in coral cover are well documented, concomitant shifts in the size-frequency distribution of coral colonies are rarely measured ...

Special Issue Overview: Advances in Remote Sensing and Mapping for Integrated Studies of Reef Ecosystems in Oceania (Great Barrier Reef and Beyond)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The recent widespread and recurrent coral bleaching events over the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system on Earth and a hotspot of marine biodiversity, are a reminder of the vulnerability of reef ecosystems to human activities and a warming ...

Predicting the location and spatial extent of submerged coral reef habitat in the Great Barrier Reef world heritage area, Australia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
AIM: Coral reef communities occurring in deeper waters have received little research effort compared to their shallow-water counterparts, and even such basic information as their location and extent are currently unknown throughout most of the world ...

Epifaunal invertebrate assemblages associated with branching Pocilloporids in Moorea, French Polynesia [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2020
Reef-building corals can harbour high abundances of diverse invertebrate epifauna. Coral characteristics and environmental conditions are important drivers of community structure of coral-associated invertebrates; however, our current understanding of ...
