Recent findings from a 16 year international study about coral spawning has created a link between the spectacular event, and the ongoing increase in sea-surface temperature. Co-author Jeff Maynard from the research institute CRIOBE, in French Polynesia, explains how...
A stunning discovery was made in one of the most unsuspecting areas of our ocean. Scientists from an international team including researchers from the University of Georgia and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, have discovered a reef in an area where the...
The worlds largest chain of coral reefs has been severely affected by the warmest El Nino system on record says Kim Cobb, a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Situated about 1,340 miles south of Hawaii and 150 miles north of the...
Research led by Southern Cross University postgraduate student Ms Nadine Boulotte, scientists from SCU's Marine Ecology Research Centre, the University of Melbourne, the Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) and the University of Hawai'i have uncovered an...
Researchers from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have analyzed sediment of deep water reefs ranging from 30-150 meters, in an effort to create a record of ancient biodiversity. Delving into the gunk lead researcher David...
Published earlier this year in the Journal of Colloid a new study from researchers at Anhui Jianzhu University in China has explained how they have adapted coral like structures into nanotechnology that removes mercury from water. Using aluminum oxide Dr. Xianbiao...
Researchers at the Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences have painted a grim picture for the current status of Pacific ocean reefs. El Nino events are especially high this year and the waters surrounding many reefs are heating up quicker and more...
Scientists from Hawaii's Institute for Marine Biology on Coconut Island are tinkering with evolution in an attempt to create "super coral" capable of withstanding the increasing temperatures and acidity of our oceans. When the report was released, NOAA coral reef...
On the heels of international climate talks in Paris, the World Wildlife Fund has released a startling review of the status of our oceans titled "Living Blue Planet Report." The WWF and the Zoological Society of London releases a bi-annual report that details the...
