IOF SEMINAR – February 3, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marine Heatwave-Driven Transformation of Coral Reef Ecosystems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Climate change-amplified marine heatwaves now pose an imminent threat to the world\u2019s tropical coral reefs. On almost all coral reefs, however, climate change is superimposed on a suite of local anthropogenic stressors, and available evidence suggests that these impacted reefs can fare better than protected ones during heatwaves, leading to the \u2018protection paradox\u2019.<\/p>\n

In this talk, we\u2019ll journey an atoll in the central equatorial Pacific that endured heat stress of unprecedented duration during the 2015-2016 El Ni\u00f1o-induced 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0global coral bleaching event. Dr. Baum will\u00a0present ecosystem-scale results of the impacts of prolonged heat stress, and discuss the role that local stressors played in modulated heat stress impacts as well as distinct mechanisms of coral resilience.<\/p>\n
