Thirty years of coral heat-stress experiments: a review of methods
For over three decades, scientists have conducted heat-stress experiments to predict how
coral will respond to ocean warming due to global climate change. However, there are often …

Mesophotic coral bleaching associated with changes in thermocline depth
As global temperatures continue to rise, shallow coral reef bleaching has become more
intense and widespread. Mesophotic coral ecosystems reside in deeper (30–150 m), cooler …

A quick, easy and non‐invasive method to quantify coral growth rates using photogrammetry and 3D model comparisons
Coral growth rates vary significantly with environmental conditions and are thus important
indicators of coral health and reef carbonate production. Despite the importance of this …

Recurrent mass-bleaching and the potential for ecosystem collapse on Australia's Great Barrier Reef
Coral reefs are extremely vulnerable to human-induced climate change. Most notably,
increasing ocean temperatures are causing increasing incidence and severity of mass coral …
