Parts of Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef, famed for its stunning colors and biodiversity, suffered the biggest decline of coral on record last year after a marine heatwave bleached vast swathes of hard coral, a new report has found. cnn.it/3HcO6S8

🌊New study🌊 out today highlights a diversity of trophic strategies among 3 species in a multi-stressor habitat & that coral tolerance to more extreme conditions is promoted through dynamic seasonal shifts in their diet @verenaschoepf.bsky.social aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

Less than one week until I defend my PhD! If you’d like to learn about coral biology, isotopes or temperate ecosystems please join us on zoom!

Not cool! #Ningaloo and #GreatBarrierReef hit by ‘profoundly distressing’ simultaneous coral bleaching events www.theguardian.com/environment/... #coralbleaching #climatechange 🔥🌊🪸☠️

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts. 24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded. 6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals. >20 is catastrophic. coralreefwatch.noaa.gov/product/vs/m...

If people still needed a wake up call, this should be it. We need Climate Action Now. Anything less is a failure to uphold our obligations to protect - for now, and into the future - Australia's biological and cultural heritage.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Happy International Day of Women in Science. The National Science Foundation’s list of flagged words includes both “Women” and “Female.”

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

My colleagues at NOAA fear for their jobs. Their satellite observation today of accumulating heat stress (already above mortality thresholds) on the northern Great Barrier Reef: Yet again a deadly mass coral bleaching event is underway. Without NOAA, climate & reef scientists will be blind.

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

NOAA's the best bang for the buck in the federal government. And now they're here! @noaa.gov NOAA Climate: @climate.noaa.gov National Weather Service: @nws.noaa.gov

NEW research out today www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... It's been a long time coming. Led by Hannah Aichelman, Brooke Benson, and others, we found that patterns of thermal responses in microbes, phenotypes, etc in the field and the lab were driven by cryptic lineage of the coral host.

How’s this for a STUNNER! Cirrhilabrus cyanogularis, the Blue-throat Fairy Wrasse! I described this species in 2018. One of the most beautiful fairy wrasses. This one is native to only a small part of the Coral Triangle, namely southern Philippines and northeast Borneo.

Warming up, just not too hard, can help you survive an intense workout. In a new study led by Xinru Li, we found that "priming" - sub-lethal exposure to heat stress - can also help coral reefs survive heat waves... provided the heat waves are not too severe. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
