UH: Innovative coral sampling technique unlocks detailed biochemistry maps for reef health
University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa researchers have developed an innovative method for coral sampling, creating detailed biochemical maps that offer unprecedented insights into compounds crucial for reef health.
UH Mānoa scientists develop strategy in coral selection for reef restoration
Scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa have developed a strategy using a hedging approach to choose key coral species for future reef restoration.
Some Hawaiian corals may be resilient to warmer and more acidic seawater, study finds
The longest experimental study on corals, a 22-month project that replicated current and future ocean conditions, suggests Hawaiian corals can remain resilient as climate change makes seawater warmer and more acidic.
Research Predicts Coral Reef Biodiversity Will Shift Not Collapse as Climate Changes
New research led by scientists at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa reveals the species which dominate experimental coral reef communities shift due to climate change, but the total biodiversity does not decline under future ocean conditions of warming and acidification expected by the end of the century.
UH Joins Largest-Ever Study of Coral
A group of researchers is hoping to save coral reef communities in the Indo-Pacific region with the “largest study ever conducted of its kind.”
Coral Reef Decline at Maalaea Bay Subject of Study
Federal funding has been secured to launch a coral reef study on Maui. Congresswoman Mazie Hirono requested the $184,815 to help identify the causes of the dramatic decline in the health of the coral reef in Maui’s Ma’alaea Bay. The likely sources of pollution identified as possible contributing factors include but are not limited to: […]
