"These findings underscore the importance of strong management & governance of managed areas & the need to measure the ecological impact of area-based management rather than counting areas because of their designation." @MarineCons Dr Emily Darling et al. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms. Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

Grad students. Listen to me. This is my most sincere advice. My PhD second year I spent all Christmas Eve morning at Starbucks coding while my entire extended family was home eating cookies and playing games. It felt SO urgent. (1/2)

Four inches of rain fell on #Lahaina between Monday and Wednesday morning, and now there is a giant sediment plume nearshore. Monitoring will be key to determine how much debris and runoff from the #wildfire have impacted the reef 🪸 civilbeat.org/2024/01/heavy-…

🪸New study: Scripps Oceanography scientists have provided a first-of-its-kind glimpse into coral “bleaching” responses to stress. Using imaging tech, they pinpointed coral survival rates following multiple bleaching events off of Maui from 2014-2021. scripps.ucsd.edu/news/3d-models…

Happy to announce our new paper in PLOS One about coral bleaching in Maui. We used 3D coral reef models to track the fate of corals through multiple bleaching events 🪸🥵 Lots to unpack, but TLDR we found encouraging signs of resilience Check it out 👉 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

It's been a year since the devastating wildfires in Lahaina, Maui, but scientists are optimistic about the recovery of impacted #CoralReefs. Recent Scripps Oceanography graduate Orion McCarthy shares more about recent surveys on the region with ABC7 Eyewitness News. ⬇️ abc7.com/post/maui-fire…

Scripps scientists recently published results of a 7-year study on the health of Maui's #CoralReefs, uncovering signs of resilience against bleaching. Lead author & Scripps alum Orion McCarthy discussed the findings with NBC 7 San Diego's Brooke Martell. 🪸 nbcsandiego.com/local/coral-re…
