Our study is now out in @commsearth.nature.com. 2022 heatwaves triggered a record mass flowering of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica. 🌊 A sign of resilience or a red flag for ocean health? The answer here: doi.org/10.1038/s432... Study led by Patrick Austruch 🌱 🌐
The 2023 marine heatwave was devastating for Caribbean reefs; in this study, we report full mortality of over 5,000 Acropora palmata colonies across a reef scale. What is worrisome is that nearly 70% of reef crests across the Caribbean faced equal or higher levels of stress doi.org/10.1016/j.is...
So happy to be featured in @tagesspiegel.de and share our work with coral reefs in @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social and MaCoBioS! @jpdolivo.bsky.social @diegokersting.bsky.social @leinre.bsky.social @mjvergotti.bsky.social @geobio.bsky.social Special thanks to Kara Mikus for this great article!
Paläoökologie-Forschung an der Freien Universität: Wie lange wird es Korallenriffe noch geben?
Forschende an der Freien Universität beschäftigen sich mit der Widerstandskraft von Korallen und loten aus, welche Lehren wir aus dem Gedächtnis der Ozeane ziehen können.

I spent a great week on Ischia last month, attendig the #PulseOcean summer school, and learning some methods to study #oceanacidification. Thanks to the organizers, @euromarine.bsky.social, and the great team of @szndohrn.bsky.social in Ischia for sharing you time and knowledge!
