  1. Seagrass in Mosquito Lagoon recovered after 2022 hurricanes
  2. Glacial meltwater and coccolithophore blooms look optically similar in fjords
    Glacial meltwater and coccolithophore blooms produce indistinguishable optical signatures in Norwegian fjords, limiting satellite remote sensing. Inherent optical properties reveal differences.
  3. Local human disturbances suppress potential coral climate refugia
    Local human disturbances suppress coral reef climate refugia globally, but targeted intervention could restore protection against marine heatwaves.
  4. Global coral heat stress reached record levels from 2018 to 2025
    The 4th global coral bleaching event shows 87% of reefs in continuous heat stress since 2018, marking a shift to near-annual bleaching that overwhelms coral recovery capacity.
