#coral paper! Ever wonder how coral responses in the lab and field match up? We examined how colonies from reefs in #Taiwan responded to a heat-stress assay #CBASS & compared this to photogrammetry monitoring of colonies before/after a marine heatwave. doi.org/10.1007/s00338-024-0…

@CoralReefWatch has introduced new Bleaching Alert Levels (3-5) in response to 2023's unprecedented #MarineHeatwaves. The revised system provides additional detail to help #CoralReef managers prepare for and take action during times of extreme heat stress.

I finally got my lab website @Concordia up and running. Check it out and drop me a line if you're interested in working with me on the interactive effects of climate change and invasive species on native biodiversity in coral reefs. decolabsmith.com

🪸 Scripps Oceanography scientists are revolutionizing #CoralReef conservation by using software to stitch together overlapping underwater images to create photorealistic 3D models of reefs that can quantify important changes, like coral growth, over time. Dive in. ⬇️ 🤿 🧵

We are really excited to see this work published. The group of 23 authors worked hard to review the state of science regarding patterns of land-sea linkages on islands. Tracking generations of traditional knowledge, we have chance to accelerate island management. 🦆🏝️🦀
Scripps marine ecologist @StuartSandin joined leaders from @rewild, @NoExtinctions, and @GLISPA_discuss to keep islands wild.🌴 Learn more about the effort published in @PNASNews and how communities & oceans benefit from island restoration efforts.⬇️

When looking at corals, I like to look for patterns. Sometimes the patterns are silly (like Porites that look like PacMan) but sometimes they are quantifiable. Pocillopora colonies systematically elongate onshore...pretty cool! doi.org/10.3354/meps14078 @JCorso_ @beverlyjfrench
