The State of the Global Climate report for 2023 is now out (wmo.int) which shows that the global ocean experienced an average daily MHW coverage of 32%, well above the previous record of 23% recorded in 2016. #marineheatwaves #MHWs

We just held our 5th workshop, this time in Majorca 🇪🇸 , which focused on refining MHW definitions, adapting the approach to coastal/polar regions, and examining ecological impacts across taxa and ecosystems. Very fruitful discussions and exciting work to come.... 📈🌊🤓🌱🌞📉

Society needs to efficiently adapt to interacting anthropogenic and natural pressures. Doing so will require expanded monitoring of species’ population trends 🐟🐠🐡🦀🐙🦈🦞🐚🪸Check out our paper out in #Nature today led by @gedgar33 @ReefLifeSurvey nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great to be in Swansea for project kick off meeting and methods testing . New project will examine how biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships change across spatial scales - using intertidal forests as model system 🤩 🌊 🌱 ☀️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
