The future of coral reefs is worrying. A recent report from the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network found that a succession of marine heatwaves over the past three decades has destroyed at least 9.5% of the world's corals. 🪸 Here’s what you need to know: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

New puplication by @climatereefs.bsky.social 🪸 Corals are climate archives. Their skeletons show how El Niño and La Niña changed in the Pacific over 1,500 years ➡️ www.marum.de/en/Changing-... #MARUM #MarineResearch #ClimateResearch

🪸 Life is better in color! September is Coral Bleaching Awareness Month. We’re joining the Coral Reef Alliance and organizations worldwide in bleaching our logo to raise awareness of coral bleaching, one of the most visible signs of reef stress. 🔗 go.coral.org/coral-bleach...
🌊 The past tells a more complex ENSO story. Corals from the Marshall Islands suggest changing ENSO diversity over the Common Era, including volcanic cooling—and that coral responses to thermal stress today are unlike those in the past. New paper out @commsearth.nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s432...

🌊Central Pacific El Niño activity increased between the first and second millennia CE, while volcanic eruptions likely drove cooling episodes. @climatereefs.bsky.social @marumunibremen.bsky.social @thomasfelis.bsky.social @andydolman.bsky.social 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
📢 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
