DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.01.002
Abstract: Abstract Atoll reef islands are considered highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. While accelerated sea-level rise is expected to destabilize reef islands, ocean warming and acidification are considered as major threats to coral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.106833
Abstract: Abstract Low-lying coral reef islands are considered extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, particularly sea-level rise and increasing storm magnitude. Inundation and erosion are expected to destabilise reef islands and render them uninhabitable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107584
Abstract: Abstract With projections of accelerating sea-level rise, changing weather and wave regimes and increasing intensity of storm events associated with anthropogenic climate change, the physical persistence and consequently habitability of coral reef islands is a… read more here.

Physical modelling of the response of reef islands to sea-level rise
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Geology"
DOI: 10.1130/g46362.1
Abstract: Sea-level rise and increased storminess are expected to destabilize low-lying reef islands formed on coral reef platforms, and increased flooding is expected to render them uninhabitable within the coming decades. Such projections are founded on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2018.00290
Abstract: Populations of marine organisms on coral reef islands (CRI) are connected in space and time by seawater that transports propagules of plants, animals, and algae. Yet, despite this reality, it is often assumed that routine… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.831710
Abstract: Biological soil crusts (BSCs/biocrusts), which are distributed across various climatic zones and well-studied in terrestrial drylands, harbor polyextremotolerant microbial topsoil communities and provide ecological service for local and global ecosystem. Here, we evaluated BSCs in… read more here.
