million people depend on them for food and living.But 70%-90% of the world's coral reefs may disappear by the year of 2050 due to ocean warming and pollution.The Allen Coral Atlas(ACA),the first real-time global coral reefs map,has been recently created to help turn the situation ...
providing 116 unique diel-integrated calcification rates from 36 coral reef sites in 11 countries (Fig.1, Supplementary Data1). Australian reefs contributed 35% of studies which mostly occurred on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) (Fig.1). Shiraho Reef, Japan, is the most well-studied ecosystem ...
However, such maps are difficult to generate due to the broad geographic range of coral reefs, the complexities of relating satellite imagery to geomorphic or ecological realities, and other challenges. However, reef extent maps are one of the most commonly used and most valuable data products ...

51. As more data increasingly reveal the diversity and complexity of reefs, selecting an appropriate level at which to map reefs on the global scale requires balancing the need for a limited number of classes that can be mapped consistently based on available earth observation data, with user ...
Today, warm-water coral reefs are limited to tropical-to-subtropical latitudes. These diverse ecosystems extended further poleward in the geological past, but the mechanisms driving these past distributions remain uncertain. Here, we test the role of cli
Dive into the vibrant underwater world with snorkeling and scuba diving excursions, where you can witness colorful coral reefs and swim alongside tropical fish. Embark on a thrilling jet ski ride or go kayaking along the coast to discover hidden coves and secluded beaches. If you prefer a more...
Furthermore, wave focussing has been identified as a major mechanism controlling the transformation of wave energy across the reefs. Results provide the first field-based validation of wave refraction and convergence on coral reefs and have significant implications for sedimentation processes and the ...
On shallow-water reefs, high bleaching variability at local scales has been found to be partly due to differences in species composition in terms of both taxa and abundances22,27,28,29. In this study, significant differences in coral community composition were observed between depth bands within ...
