Carbonate precipitation has been a common life strategy for marine organisms for 3.7 billion
years, as, therefore, has their construction of reefs. As favored by modern corals, reef …

Coral reefs are an essential source of marine biodiversity, but they are declining at an
alarming rate under the combined effects of global change and human pressure. A precise …

This introduction gives a brief summary of the main features of the Red Sea and its
surroundings, including the topography and bathymetry, the geology and geophysics, as …

With compelling evidence that half the world's coral reefs have been lost over the last four
decades, there is urgent motivation to understand where reefs are located and their health …

Rapid ocean warming due to climate change poses a serious risk to the survival of coral
reefs. It is estimated that 70–90 percent of all reefs will be severely degraded by mid-century …

Coral reef environments support high levels of marine biodiversity, they are important sites
for coastal habitation and they provide a range of goods and ecosystem services such as …

Anthropogenic and natural impacts threaten the sustainability of ecosystem services
provided by the ocean and its coastlines. Coral reefs are an endangered and important …

We propose a framework for spatially estimating a proxy for coral reef resilience using
remote sensing. Data spanning large areas of coral reef habitat were obtained using the …

The floating plastic debris along the Arabian coast of the Red Sea was sampled by using
surface-trawling plankton nets. A total of 120 sampling sites were spread out over the near …

Atmospheric methane (CH4) is the second strongest greenhouse gas and it is emitted to the
atmosphere naturally by different sources. It is crucial to define the dimension of these …
