Our study shows that ocean currents can shelter coral reefs during major El Niño heatwaves. How did this happen…? By enhancing upwelling and delivering valuable nutrition to corals during peak thermal stress. [1/5]
Oh look, we did something cool with algae and found something neat out about their metabolism;) This work is by @Mauricio_M 1st Auth, collaboration from @MikeD_Fox@KAUSTCoreLabs and @ASU_AzCATI (Prof. Lammers). Thanks to @MarsGlobal for the chocolate waste!
Want to know how oceanography shapes coral reef ecosystems from microbes to sharks and how climate change will impact these vital links?

Latest in @PLOSClimate: KAUST researchers reveal a simple fix to improve ocean temperature monitoring for coral reef restoration. Shielding thermometers from sunlight ensures accurate data, crucial for guiding global efforts, including in the Red Sea.

Working with biological #oceanographers is a great experience! Investigating coral resilience in the #RedSea from a holistic perspective offers insights that broaden my understanding of the diverse scales at which corals operate 🌊🐠 @MikeD_Fox@KaustResearch
Coastal marine heatwaves off Eastern Australia that extend through the water column are linked to intrusion of the Eastern Australian Current; those with no surface signature to downwelling-favourable winds. @Amandine_ocean@moninya

🚨First publication of my PhD is out now @WileyEcolEvol! We found no effect of water flow on the physiology of a widespread soft coral 🪸 but they responded positively to the presence of heterotrophic food sources 🍽️

🚨 Postdoc Alert 🚨 Join our team and lead interdisciplinary projects optimizing coral nutrition for reef restoration. An exciting Collaboration with restoration practitioners in the Northern Red Sea. Starting early 2024. Must have PhD.
Reach out if interested! @RSRC_KAUST
Elegant new study led by @RemoteReefs and @jamisongove reveals the importance of coordinating management of land AND sea impacts to improve reef trajectories under climate change
Surprising changes to a Pacific Ocean current during one of the strongest recorded El Niños saved a remote island’s coral reefs while others were devastated by mass bleaching.
