Study: Ocean systems undermined by climate change by 2100

MEDIA RELEASE An ambitious new study describes the full chain of events by which ocean biogeochemical changes triggered by manmade greenhouse gas emissions may cascade through marine habitats and organisms, penetrating to the deep ocean and eventually influencing humans. Previous analyses have focused mainly on ocean warming and acidification, considerably underestimating the biological and social […]

Abundance, distribution of Hawaiian coral predicted by model

MEDIA RELEASE Researchers from the UH Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) developed species distribution models of the six dominant Hawaiian coral species around the main Hawaiian Islands, including two species currently under consideration as threatened or endangered. They found the order of coral abundance (from highest to lowest) around the […]

Researchers share surprising discovery about coral reef ecology

MEDIA RELEASE Researchers at the UH Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) made a discovery that challenges a major theory in the field of coral reef ecology. The general assumption has been that the more flexible corals are, regarding which species of single-celled algae (Symbiodinium) they host in coral tissues, the […]

Findings on why some species are ‘successful’ invaders

MEDIA RELEASE Researchers at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), an organized research unit within the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, have made a remarkable new discovery. Biological invasions with known histories are rare, especially in the sea. Fifty-five years ago, the Hawaii Division of Fish […]
