The 4th Global Coral Bleaching Event: Ushering in an era of near-annual bleaching Open
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves have escalated the prevalence and extent of mass coral bleaching events. Global-scale coral bleaching events (GCBE) can unfold when marine heatwaves impact reefs across all tropical ocean basins withi…

Satellite-based analysis of an unverified mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef in 2021 Open
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, has experienced more frequent heat stress events since the region’s first recorded mass coral bleaching event in 1998. Seven confirmed mass coral bleaching events have occurred on the GBR, including…

Optimal Spatiotemporal Scales to Aggregate Satellite Ocean Color Data for Nearshore Reefs and Tropical Coastal Waters: Two Case Studies Open
Remotely sensed ocean color data are useful for monitoring water quality in coastal environments. However, moderate resolution (hundreds of meters to a few kilometers) satellite data are underutilized in these environments because of frequ…

Coral Disease Time Series Highlight Size-Dependent Risk and Other Drivers of White Syndrome in a Multi-Species Model Open
Coral diseases contribute to the decline of reef communities, but factors that lead to disease are difficult to detect. In the present study, we develop a multi-species model of colony-scale risk for the class of coral diseases referred to…

Quantifying the Effects of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on Coastal Water Quality in Puerto Rico using Moderate Resolution Satellite Sensors Open
Coastal, benthic communities, such as coral reefs, are at particular risk due to poor water quality caused by hurricanes. In addition to the physical impacts from wave action and storm surge, hurricanes bring significant rainfall resulting…

The relentless march of mass coral bleaching: a global perspective of changing heat stress Open
The global coral bleaching event of 2014–2017 resulted from the latest in a series of heat stress events that have increased in intensity. We assessed global- and basin-scale variations in sea surface temperature-based heat stress products…
