Tropical cyclones generate large waves that physically damage coral communities and are
commonly cited as a worsening threat to coral reefs under climate change. However …

Tropical cyclones generate extreme waves that can damage coral reef communities.
Recovery typically requires up to a decade, driving the trajectory of coral community …

Ocean warming under climate change threatens coral reefs directly, through fatal heat stress
to corals and indirectly, by boosting the energy of cyclones that cause coral destruction and …

Coral reefs are likely to be exposed to more intense cyclones under climate change.
Cyclone impacts are spatially highly variable given complex hydrodynamics, and coral …

Tropical cyclone (TC) waves can severely damage coral reefs. Models that predict where to
find such damage (the 'damage zone') enable reef managers to: 1) target management …

Principal objective. Tropical cyclones periodically cross the Great Barrier Reef (GBR),
generating large waves that cause structural damage to reef communities, ranging from …

Tropical cyclones have been a major cause of reef coral decline during recent decades,
including on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). While cyclones are a natural element of the …

Tropical cyclones generate extreme hazards along coastlines, often leading to losses of life
and property. Although coral reefs exist in cyclone‐prone regions globally, few studies have …

Tropical storms (cyclones, hurricanes, or typhoons) are the most severe form of mechanical
disturbance of coral reefs. In 2005, severe tropical cyclone Ingrid crossed the far northern …

Tropical cyclones can dramatically reduce coral cover, coral diversity and structural
complexity, which can all cause flow-on effects to fish communities. In 2016, Fiji sustained …
