Remote Indian Ocean Reefs Bounce Back Quickly After Bleaching
University of Exeter researchers are investigating "reef carbonate budgets" – the net production or erosion of reef structure over time.
Agricultural Expansion a Major Cause to Doubling of Annual Tropical Carbon Loss Over Past Two Decades
Using multiple high-resolution satellite datasets, researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) found that tropical carbon loss has doubled over the past two decades due to excessive forest removal in the tropics.
Warming Oceans are Getting Louder
Climate change will significantly alter how sound travels underwater, potentially affecting natural soundscapes as well as accentuating human-generated noise, according to a new global study that identified future ocean “acoustic hotspots.”
Urbanization and Marine Environments
Coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat have been proven particularly resistant to global warming, rising water temperatures and bleaching events that are crippling their counterparts elsewhere around the world.
International Sea Level Satellite Takes Over From Predecessor
Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, the newest addition to a long line of ocean-monitoring satellites, becomes the reference satellite for sea level measurements.
