Coral diseases and water quality play a key role for coral restoration and survival efforts
Coral restoration programs are expanding to revive coral populations and ecosystem services, but local and global stressors such as coral disease and water pollution still threaten coral survival.
New study reveals shift in subtropical North Atlantic ocean over the next decade
Findings reveal long-term cooling and freshening of the deep subtropical North Atlantic Ocean, with hints of major shifts to come over the next decade
Study highlights key factors for successful restoration of elkhorn coral colonies
Coral restoration should prioritize shallower depths with faster currents in low-nutrient environments to promote a healthier microbial community
Study reveals acceleration in Pacific upper-ocean circulation over past 30 years, impacting global weather patterns
A critical ocean layer for El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dynamics.
One of the world's fastest ocean currents is remarkably stable, study finds
Study challenges previous assertions of Gulf Stream slowdown
Hurricane hunters, the true storm chasers
A pilot’s initiative to track the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane that decimated the Florida Keys marked the beginning of the era of today’s legendary hurricane hunters.
Sediments adjacent to recently dredged areas can harm coral larvae, study finds
Researchers suggest temporary moratoriums on dredging, other management measures to mitigate further damage to Florida’s coral reefs
Warming of Antarctic deep-sea waters contribute to sea level rise in North Atlantic, study finds
Analysis of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened. Two decades of continual observations provide a greater understanding of the Earth’s climate regulating system.
Groundbreaking study reveals extensive Leatherback turtle activity along U.S. coastline
Study is the first to identify the U.S. Atlantic coast as a significant region of feeding grounds for endangered leatherbacks migrating along the east coast of the United States.
New mapping method uses sustained observations to estimate AMOC at 22.5°S
Changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its transport of heat can affect climate and weather patterns, regional sea levels, and ecosystems.
South Florida’s nearshore reefs less vulnerable to Ocean Acidification, study finds
Results offer a glimmer of hope as climate change impacts coral reefs worldwide
