The global coral bleaching event of 2014–2017 resulted from the latest in a series of heat
stress events that have increased in intensity. We assessed global-and basin-scale …

Coral reefs across the world's oceans are in the midst of the longest bleaching event on
record (from 2014 to at least 2016). As many of the world's reefs are remote, there is limited …

Ocean warming is increasing the incidence, scale, and severity of global-scale coral
bleaching and mortality, culminating in the third global coral bleaching event that occurred …

Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually
warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the …

The recurrence of mass coral bleaching and associated coral mortality in the past few
decades have raised questions about the future of coral reef ecosystems. Although coral …

Coral bleaching has increasingly impacted reefs worldwide over the past four decades.
Despite almost 40 years of research into the mechanistic, physiological, ecological …

Thermal-stress events associated with climate change cause coral bleaching and mortality
that threatens coral reefs globally. Yet coral bleaching patterns vary spatially and temporally …

Background The rising temperature of the world's oceans has become a major threat to coral
reefs globally as the severity and frequency of mass coral bleaching and mortality events …

2017 was an unprecedented period of successive record-breaking hot years, which
coincided with the most severe, widespread, and longest-lasting global-scale coral …

Ocean warming threatens the functioning of coral reef ecosystems by inducing mass coral
bleaching and mortality events. The link between temperature and coral bleaching is now …
