El Niño, echinoid bioerosion and recovery potential of an isolated Galápagos coral reef: a modeling perspective

Marine Biology, 2017
Wellington Reef is the northern-most and largest known coral reef in the Galapagos Islands. This study explores the recovery potential of the Wellington Reef when subjected to predicted future El Nino Southern Oscillation warming events that may cause varying degrees of coral mortality followed by sea urchin bioerosion.

Variable El Niño–Southern Oscillation influence on biofacies dynamics of eastern Pacific shallow-water carbonate systems

Geology, 2016
Abstract The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a periodic climatic and oceanic event caused by sea-surface temperature and nutrient anomalies over the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP). Recurring ENSO events have a significant impact on climate and the ecosystems of the circum-Pacific region.
