Predicting when coral reefs are most likely to die from sun exposure could become part of local reef management strategies. Coral reef tops are commonly exposed to the sun during very low tides and ...

In a paper published in scientific journal Marine Biology, Dr. Ken Anthony and Dr. Ailsa Kerswell, of the ARC Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at the University of Queensland and James Cook ...

SINGAPORE — They look like flat, bumpy undersea rocks covered in seagrass. But beneath the camouflage lies coral microatolls — discovered during the pandemic off the Sentosa coast — that may give ...

Scientists have discovered that corals adapted to naturally high temperatures, such as those off the north west coast of Australia, are nonetheless highly susceptible to heat stress and bleaching.

For the first time, researchers have studied the impact of ocean acidification on coral reefs with a device that allows them to increase levels of carbon dioxide on living coral for months at a time.

It was 02:00h on 11 January 2009 when the sea along the coastline of Australia's "Sunshine State" of Queensland receded to such an extent that it exposed a population of water-adapted spiders. The ...
