The Great Barrier Reef is undergoing its sixth mass bleaching event, as unusually warm waters stress corals, authorities say. 

Tropical peatlands are one of the most efficient carbon sinks. 

A study published recently in Coral Reefs and led by University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa student researchers revealed that exposing rice coral larvae to warmer temperatures did not improve survival once the coral developed into juveniles and were exposed to heat stress.

University of Exeter researchers are investigating "reef carbonate budgets" – the net production or erosion of reef structure over time.

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.

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. 

Over the past two decades, global croplands expanded by 9 percent, with differing expressions on different continents.
