Come work with us Australian Institute of Marine Science in our Reef Recovery, Adaptation and Restoration Program. We have two permanent positions available: 1) Aquaculture Geneticist and 2) Evolutionary Modeller. Please share! aims.gov.au/about/careers-…

Check out this reef at Orpheus Island pre-bleaching and during the mass #coralbleaching event on the #GreatBarrierReef ⬇️

#EcoRRAP have stitched 1000s of digital images together to understand how corals change, grow and are affected by bleaching events.

Another day, another modern-day record: global sea surface temperatures are now up to 21.19°C.

By comparison, the 2023 record was 21.09°C, held from August 22-26.

One way to see just how truly 'gobsmackingly bananas' North Atlantic sea surface temperatures are right now is to remove the 'less anomalous' year 2023 from the graph.

This just looks impossible in real life.

Holy Shit!

Someone asked ChatGPT: 'How would it conquer over Humans?'

2 ways which ChatGPT showed are INSANE 💀

Scientists can now train coral to spawn on demand
Climate change has ravaged coral reefs on a massive scale. This breakthrough could revolutionize efforts to rebuild them.

UNBELIEVABLE footage of the Ruang volcano erupting in Indonesia. It just had an extremely powerful eruption with ash clouds potentially punching into the stratosphere at 19,000 meters. A tsunami warning is also now in effect due to the powerful blast.

Many people have no idea how these things work.

For example, right now, as a Brazilian, I can't accept invitations to speak at conferences in Europe because my visa to work in the U.S. has expired.
I am not illegal; I have a work contract with the University of California until…

The first aerial orthomosaics from the northern GBR during the 2024 mass coral bleaching event are up online:

Images are open-source to encourage resurveys and time series analysis of > 1 million georeferenced bleached corals (1/n)

AIMS science leaders + AIMS, highlight the important role science plays in understanding #coralbleaching events and developing solutions to improve reef resilience.

But, above all, urgent action to curb the effects of global climate change is vital.

Final day of the #Reefresilience2024 symposium:

➡️Keynote from Carly Randall about coral seeding
➡️Plenary from David Mead + Line K Bay looking at the past, present and future of #RRAP .

Other great sessions from AIMS scientists sharing their research & science innovation.

Phenomenal effort. Devastating reality.

2024 Great Barrier Reef bleaching summary now available: aims.gov.au/sites/default/…

- Fifth mass bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef since 2016
-Very high (60-90% cover bleached) and extreme (>90%) prevalence of coral bleaching in all three regions of the Great Barrier Reef

It's getting harder and harder to write these stories about #coralreefs and I don't really know what to do. It distresses me and I feel powerless to stop the dying. insideclimatenews.org/news/15042024/…

It is sad to see that global coral bleaching is occurring again. 1998, 2010, 2014-17, now 2023-?. We need to take every action possible to abate the climate crisis and we need to do it now!
