Greenwire: A team of scientists equipped with high-tech underwater cameras is documenting a coral-bleaching event in Bermuda. The Catlin Seaview Survey -- led by researchers from the University of Queensland, Australia, and sponsored by the insurance and reinsurance company Catlin Group Ltd. -- raced to Bermuda this month after the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a bleaching alert as water around the islands' reefs grew dangerously warm. "As soon as we got in the water we observed...

Insights Into Deadly Coral Bleaching Could Help Preserve Reefs
2013-04-23 20:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Coral reefs are stressed the world over and could be in mortal danger because of climate change. But why do some corals die and others not, even when exposed to the same environmental conditions? An interdisciplinary research team from Northwestern University and The Field Museum of Natural History has a surprising answer: The corals themselves play a role in their susceptibility to deadly coral bleaching due to the light-scattering properties of their skeletons. No one else has shown this before....

Increase In Coral Reef Bleaching Attributed To Climate Change
2013-02-26 04:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: Rising temperatures associated with climate change have already been shown to have an effect on a wide range of ecosystems and the creatures that reside within. Recent studies have now added coral reefs to the list of ecosystems that may be damaged as a result of climate change. Judging from new maps and models, the rising sea temperatures, which accompany climate change, could result in more frequent coral bleaching events, causing them to occur as often as once every year. Researchers have used...
