Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am releasing a 7-part series to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! https://t.co/55J69efgCM

[Todd C. LaJeunesse @LajeunesseTodd]

Published today in the journal Coral Reefs, a paper on how the use of multiple genetic markers and repeated sampling provides a comprehensive understanding of the diversity and ecology of coral-dinoflagellate mutualisms. https://t.co/QLXLh6FJfF

My pre-completion seminar is next week! 👩🏻‍🏫
DM me for zoom link, or come along to ATSIP if you’re at JCU!

Lizard Island Research Station, one of my favorite places, is hiring two (!) co-directors to take over for Anne Hoggett and Lyle Vail, two of my favorite people. Please share with anyone who would be excellent at leading LIRS onward. https://t.co/9cbENxnxPU #bestjobever

Final day of the #Reefresilience2024 symposium:

➡️Keynote from @DrCarlyRandall about coral seeding
➡️Plenary from David Mead + @LineKBay looking at the past, present and future of #RRAP.

Other great sessions from AIMS scientists sharing their research & science innovation.

2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: https://t.co/dozHwAGO8i

- Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016
-Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef

A new infographic from @FloridaSeaGrant explains how Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) can spread and steps that can be taken to reduce the risk. #SCTLD has led to major declines in coral cover and continues to spread rapidly.

The 2024 mass coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef in numbers (preliminary analysis):

- 46% of reefs experienced record high DHW
- new record of 17.7 DHW from the southern GBR
- 37% of the GBR has been exposed to three or more >6DHW events in the past decade

Record heat and extreme temperature anomalies have led to severe coral bleaching in Woppaburra sea Country. I felt devastated getting in the water. Some mortality (not quantified yet) was also visible.

The heat wave is subsiding now - we hope these resilient reefs can recover.

[Michele Barnes @MicheleLBarnes]

To address the climate crisis, we need to know how people's capacity to adapt is affected by shocks. In our study of #reef #tourism, we show that specific aspects of adaptive capacity (assets/flexibility) can decline rapidly.
