1/4 Aloha, this week we launched a partnership website supporting the new ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Reef Restoration Program for coral reef restoration along the west coast of Hawaiʻi Island. https://t.co/bZWImi7tRh
Coral restorationists build substrates for coral larvae to find and attach themselves to. A study of the rugosity, curvature, slope, and fractal dimension of 32 coral reefs near Miloliʻi, Hawaiʻi yields clues on how build an irresistible reef. In PNAS: https://t.co/ILR5lcFuFa
G. Carleton Ray, a retired Environmental Sciences research professor and an international leader in marine ecology and conservation, died Dec. 14. Read about his incredible 65-year career and contributions to the field here: https://t.co/bXD5C7dbY2
Humid #heat💧is very different than dry heat🌵
Also:
Age matters
Sun matters
Activity matters
And, can we not just survive the heat, but LIVE in the heat?

Very important article linking AI and ecology. This is just the tip of the iceberg, especially with what can be done with remotely sensed and camera trap data, but it is an important read. @Foggykak among the authors!

A bit of coverage of our global mining manuscript in Mongabay today. Great quotes from @evandethier and @LuisFernandez0 in there. The time series of Z scores was a gigantic undertaking by Evan but is a very powerful figure.

In follow-up to our recent announcement of the new ʻĀkoʻakoʻa Program, I'm happy to announce a first wave of open positions in ed, ops & prgm leadership. Please help us build this human-reef restoration program for Hawaiʻi & the world. @ASU_GDCS https://t.co/Vn8vRB2Hpv
Our multi-agency land-reef study in Hawaiʻi shines the brightest light yet on the fact that coastal pollution and fishing play a frontline role in determining the future of our reefs in a warming ocean climate. @ASUGlobalFuture@ASU@dlnr@HawaiiCounty
New study w/ @SandeepPoudel_ and @RebsFE on the 10-year trend in coastal housing prices and its relationship to community perceptions of risk in areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy.

Hawaii's coral community has suffered due to humans & environment, but ASU and partners are hoping to turn the tide!
A new program, fusing science and culture, is all thanks to generous donations and collaborative funding.
