DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9450
Abstract: Abstract Ocean warming is leading to more frequent coral bleaching events. However, cold stress can also induce bleaching in corals. Here, we report observations of a boreal winter bleaching event in January 2020 in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-019-01798-5
Abstract: AbstractGiven the rapid change in coral reef assemblages globally, quantification of coral bleaching events, disease prevalence and mortality is critical. Here we discuss observations on the status of coral reefs in Southern Eleuthera, The Bahamas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11306-017-1306-8
Abstract: IntroductionRising seawater temperatures are threatening the persistence of coral reefs; where above critical thresholds, thermal stress results in a breakdown of the coral-dinoflagellate symbiosis and the loss of algal symbionts (coral bleaching). As symbiont-derived organic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.08.003
Abstract: Coral reef ecosystems owe their ecological success - and vulnerability to climate change - to the symbiotic metabolism of corals and Symbiodinium spp. The urgency to understand and predict the stability and breakdown of these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tim.2021.07.006
Abstract: Coral reefs are rapidly declining because of widespread mass coral bleaching causing extensive coral mortality. Elevated seawater temperatures are the main drivers of coral bleaching, and climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of… read more here.

Time‐Varying Upper Ocean Circulation and Control of Coral Bleaching in the Western Tropical Pacific
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093632
Abstract: The western tropical Pacific Ocean (WTPO) features complicated ocean circulation systems and has the warmest world open‐ocean waters. Small upper ocean temperature change there can exert significant impact on the regional coral reef ecosystems. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-019-0486-4
Abstract: Coral reefs are among the most species-rich, productive and economically valuable ecosystems on Earth but increasingly frequent pantropical coral bleaching events are threatening their persistence on a global scale. The 2015–2016 El Niño led to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41561-024-01635-7
Abstract: Influential projections of coral reef futures have used Degree Heating Months—a monthly reformulation of the well-validated Degree Heating Weeks index. Here we show that heat stress predictions using the 2 metrics differ substantially, with 33–1,584%… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-32470-7
Abstract: It is proposed that emissions of volatile sulfur compounds by coral reefs contribute to the formation of a biologically-derived feedback on sea surface temperature (SST) through the formation of marine biogenic aerosol (MBA). The direction… read more here.
