We recently wrote about the urgent need to better quantify coral reef-ocean interactions under climate change in
@natecoevo.nature.com (see below).

📣 Ocean-reef interaction studies: Relevant across geographies (a), but understudied (b), biased towards coral studies (c), small but growing base of coral reef upwelling studies (d)

The Clock Is Ticking! Picture this - A child misses their friend’s birthday party - not by choice, but because their disability makes it inaccessible. Picture having to explain that to them, again.

Local human impacts interact with geography to drive benthic community depth zonation on contemporary coral reefs | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Changes in biophysical conditions and energetic resource supply across depths are predicted to promote or limit the abundance of different coral reef benthic groups. However, the degree to which regional differences in biophysical processes govern and ...

Gympanzees - A world of fun & fitness for all disabled children Our vision is that every disabled child and young person in the UK can enjoy a life filled with exercise, play and friendship.

My amazing friend Steph Wheen founded @Gympanzees UK to give disabled kids access to play, sport, & community. On June 16 (in 12 days!), they launch a crowdfunder to build the UK’s 1st inclusive health & activity centre. They've raised £5M—this push gets it built! Info: gympanzees.org 💙 More soon.

NEW: Mud Matters. Dr Sophie Ward et al. show how ancient tides shaped carbon-rich deep-sea mud sinks storing CO₂ for 1000s of yrs. 📉If disturbed, they could release carbon into the atmosphere—worsening warming.
