Coral reef ecosystems are generally high in biodiversity, most often found in shallow tropical seas, and are threatened by factors including ocean acidification, global warming and sea level rise. Latest Research and Reviews Tracking over 30 years of coral reef infrastructure degradation in Barbados ...
Here we review a decade of research into the micrometeorology of Heron Reef, a lagoonal platform coral reef in the southern Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Using novel pontoon-mounted eddy covariance systems, we show that often >80% of net radiation is partitioned into heating the water ...
Coral reefs are made up of the coral polyps that excrete the substance that forms the reef skeleton, as well as the algae, fish and other sea creatures they support.
Research Fellow Dr Steeve Comeau, from UWA's Oceans Institute and Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Coral Reef Studies, said his study highlighted the difficulties in analysing the effects of more acidic oceans on how the calcium carbonate foundations of corals were deposited or dis...
