📢 New paper out! 🌊 Why do some coral reefs survive marine heatwaves better than others? The answer lies far beyond the reef itself. Natural coral reef refuges are dynamic. Their cooling depends on tropical climate modes (ENSO,IOD), shaping coral resilience in a warming ocean Read more: rdcu.be/fq0ml
