The subtropical southern Japanese region

  3. Scientists at the Research #NeutronSource Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) investigated, for the first time, #coralbleaching processes directly in living corals. 🪸Using #neutrons, they visualized structural changes during bleaching: go.tum.de/326347

  5. Headlines keep repeating the same truth: the ocean is carrying the weight—microplastics in every current, reefs under heat stress, decisions delayed. Fingerprints In The Water is my YA eco-fantasy where teens—and ancient Earth-guardians—refuse to wait. Read: books2read.com/u/boxKkA

  6. Scientists Warn Planet Has Passed “Tipping Point” as Warm-Water Coral Reefs Die

    Coral ecosystems support a quarter of marine species. Scientists say a clean energy transition can save remaining reefs.

  7. World’s #oceans fail key health check as #oceanacidification crosses critical threshold for marine life
    Latest assessment by Potsdam Institute for #Climate Impact Research, comes at a time of record‑breaking ocean heat and #coralbleaching. Report notes its 7th of 9 planetary boundaries to be transgressed prompting #scientists to call for a renewed global effort to curb #fossilfuels, #deforestation and other human-driven pressures that are tilting #Earth out of equilibrium

  9. 'Hope spot' to 'skeletons': #Ningaloo's 'catastrophic' event
    #2024 was the warmest year on record for global oceans, culminating in the fourth-ever global #coral bleaching event, which has circumnavigated oceans in a wave of ongoing coral mortality.
    It hit Ningaloo late last year.
    “In around December 2024, we started to notice that water temperatures were abnormally high,” says molecular ecologist Dr Kate Quigley.

  13. Researchers race to understand disease killing #Caribbeancorals at unprecedented rates
    Corals, like humans, sometimes get sick. But stony coral tissue loss disease #SCTLD is different, researchers say. It afflicts an unprecedented number of species, has spread over a vast area, kills incredibly quickly. Massive coral colonies, some hundreds of years old, can die within weeks or months, leaving reefs unrecognizable

  16. What Is Coral Bleaching, And Why Is It On The Rise?

    "Coral bleaching results when corals expel their colourful endosymbionts, the photosynthetic zooxanthellae, leaving the still living, but white, coral skeleton behind."

  22. Mass #CoralBleaching has frequently coincided w/episodes of #ElNiño, a global #climate pattern that usually increases #temperatures. That was the case in 1998, 2016 & again last year, which was the warmest year on record.
    #Oceans have been steadily absorbing rising temperatures for years, but in 2023 & 2024, temps broke records w/spikes that alarmed scientists. #Seas are also becoming more acidic as they warm, which can dissolve corals’ skeletons & make it harder for them to grow.

  24. Since the early 1980s, scientists say, #CoralBleaching events have increased in frequency & severity as the burning of #FossilFuels drives up the #planet’s #temperature. #NOAA documented the first global #coral bleaching event in 1998 & the second in 2010. During the previous global event, between 2014 and 2017, 68% of the world’s #CoralReefs experienced bleaching-level #heat stress.
