Spectrally resolved water-leaving radiances (ocean colour) and inferred chlorophyll
concentration are key to studying phytoplankton dynamics at seasonal and inter-annual …

To improve our understanding of the role of phytoplankton for marine ecosystems and global
biogeochemical cycles, information on the global distribution of major phytoplankton groups …

In the tropics, thermal stratification (during warm conditions) may contribute to a shallowing
of the mixed layer above the nutricline and a reduction in the transfer of nutrients to the …

Coral reefs were traditionally perceived as productive hot spots in oligotrophic waters. While
modern evidence indicates that many coral reef food webs are heavily subsidized by …

Abstract Seventeen years (1998–2014) of satellite-derived chlorophyll concentration (Chl)
are used to analyse the seasonal and non-seasonal patterns of Chl variability and the long …

As the Earth's temperature continues to rise, coral bleaching events become more frequent.
Some of the most affected reef ecosystems are located in poorly monitored waters, and thus …

Oceanic phytoplankton respond rapidly to a complex spectrum of climate-driven
perturbations, confounding attempts to isolate the principal causes of observed changes. A …

Populations of mobulid rays are declining globally through a combination of directed
fisheries and indirect anthropogenic threats. Understanding the movement ecology of these …

Tropical ocean ecosystems are predicted to become warmer, more saline, and less fertile in
a future Earth. The Red Sea, one of the warmest and most saline environments in the world …

This chapter introduces the environmental gradients that characterize the broader Red Sea
habitat. The Red Sea is formed by an actively spreading rift and notably has only one natural …
