Scientific Reports - Tropical climate modes control strength and distribution of thermal stress mitigation in a coral reef refugia

NOAA experts have determined that the fourth global coral bleaching event likely concluded in mid-2025 following unprecedented heat stress across the world’s coral reefs.

In the Indonesian Seas, cold stress events caused by positive Indian Ocean Dipole are stronger and longer-lasting than heat stress events Heat stress events in the Indonesian Seas, triggered by E...

Strontium to calcium ratio and oxygen isotopic records from single corals contain a strongly autocorrelated non-climate noise component, which can inflate reconstructed temperature variability, according to analyses of coral records and sea surface temperature data.

Abstract. The stable isotope values of seawater (δ18O and δ2H) provide valuable information on the exchange of water between the ocean, atmosphere, and cryosphere and on ocean mixing processes. As suc...

High near-surface nitrogen-fixation rates that promoted the recent growth of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt were tied to greater upwelling of phosphorus from the equatorial Atlantic, according to c...

Stony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from...
