The influence of extreme climate events on models of coral colony recruitment and survival in the Caribbean [PDF]
, 2012 Knowledge of coral recruitment patterns helps us understand how reefs react following major disturbances and provides us with an early warning system for predicting future reef health problems.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Atoll islands’ alongshore sediment transport gradients depend on how island and reef morphology affect incident wave energy. It is unclear, though, how potential atoll morphologic configurations influence shoreline erosion and/or accretion patterns, and ...

Postglacial Fringing-Reef to Barrier-Reef conversion on Tahiti links Darwin's reef types [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 AbstractIn 1842 Charles Darwin claimed that vertical growth on a subsiding foundation caused fringing reefs to transform into barrier reefs then atolls. Yet historically no transition between reef types has been discovered and they are widely considered to develop independently from antecedent foundations during glacio-eustatic sea-level rise.

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
