A postdoctoral researcher and a graduate student from UH Hilo embark on an expedition in early April to study a remote World War II battlefield in the Western Pacific.
UH Mānoa researchers find that corals can thrive on submarine groundwater discharge impacted reefs if isolated from secondary stressors such as competition from seaweeds and sedimentation.
The study synthesized 10 years of datasets for the first time to get a big-picture perspective on Hawaiʻi's reef health and regional impacts and it provides a foundation for further research and informs policies to protect coral reefs.
Many of the world’s coral reefs could begin to erode within 30 years as a result of increasing ocean acidity, according to a paper in Science co-authored by UH Mānoa Professor Eric DeCarlo and former graduate student Patrick Drupp.
Rosie Lee, Colton Johnson and Keelee Martin spent a month as part of a NOAA research team studying the effects of climate change on reef and fish populations.
University of Hawaiʻi experts discuss anticipated climate change impacts to Hawaiʻi at panel discussions following two free screenings of Chasing Ice and Chasing Coral at the Honolulu Museum of Art
Mesophotic reefs in the Auau channel continuously disclose breathtaking levels of biodiversity, yielding species and behavioral interactions new to science.
