📢📢Just out in @ScienceAdvances !!📢📢 tinyurl.com/rb3pu26v 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!

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. 📰 News: discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/252… 🪸 Paper: journals.plos.org/climate/articl… Follow: @MikeD_Fox @jsglanz @GageMele @NicoleJadeBurt @sacKAUST @Eslam_O_Osman @DavidJSuggett @MaggieDJohnson #CoralRestoration #KAUSTResearch #Sustainability #OceanConservation #MarineScience

Check out @LisaGoberdhan ‘s super science at #ECRS2024 showing that ‘Variation in coral rubble cryptofauna is scale-dependent and driven by small-scale habitat characteristics’! Just published in MEPS!

Thrilled to present our preliminary findings at @Ecrs2024! We’re exploring the crucial role of #plankton and the #pelagic system in impacting #CoralReefs. @MikeD_Fox @reefwally #MarineScience

#ECRS2024 Some great work coming out of the Ecological Oceanography and Global Ecology Labs - come see what we’ve been up to! @MaggieDJohnson @KAUST_News @RSRC_KAUST

Our new study, hot off the press! Deeper reef climate impacts on the Great Barrier Reef news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-env…

We are hiring a Molecular Ecology Lab Technician. Come join us in beautiful Western Australia and work with a dynamic team across a range of exciting projects. #metabarcoding, #WGS, #RNAseq aims.gov.au/about/careers-…

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

A warm welcome to Hana and @DanielleLSpring ! Excited to work with you and support your research on reefs in the Pacific and Red Sea.

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 nature.com/articles/s4324…

🚨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 🍽️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

🚨 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

@reefwally @WhyOceansMATTer @NicoleJadeBurt Well done dream team!! Excellent work! Can’t wait to see the data 🤩

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. Learn more about this study by @MikeD_Fox and his colleagues: bit.ly/435Cg10
