Coral mortality after bleaching is associated w/ heatwaves AND local conditions, including macroalgae, suggesting action at all levels is necessary for coral survival, see our new study in @ScienceMagazine using a global dataset collected by @ReefCheck science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

It’s lobster season! Joey and his undergraduate intern, Jacob Ogawa, are spending lots of time at Catalina island surveying the reefs to understand how the removal of lobsters during their fishing season might… instagram.com/p/B3soFoClKlt/…

Nitrogen is an important nutrient to coral health, but did you know that different forms of nitrogen may have different effects? Check out our new paper with the link below!… instagram.com/p/B2UjebclYya/…

Graduate student Kyle Neuman is exploring the interface between land and sea as he studies nutrient dynamics in the streams of Moorea. #freshwaterlife #moorea #nutrients #saltbreak instagram.com/p/B1_89w9FeaH/…

Kyle, Kyla, Mayalen,and Deron has a great day surveying the reefs around streams in Moorea. #coralreefs #moorea @ Mo'orea instagram.com/p/B1_wVaXl87f/…

New paper hot off the press! 🐠

Burkepile members spent the morning in the intertidal installing "tuffies" (kitchen scrubbers) to look at algal recruitment. This project is a collaboration with PISCO, led by undergraduate student Hannah Armer. It's a great day for field work in Santa Barbara!
