As global temperatures continue to rise, shallow coral reef bleaching has become more intense and widespread. Mesophotic ecosystems reside in deeper (30-150 m), cooler water were thought offer a refuge shallow-water reefs. Studies now show that mesophotic instead have limited connectivity with corals but host diverse endemic communities. Given their extensive distribution high biodiversity, understanding susceptibility warming oceans is imperative. In this multidisciplinary study of an atoll...
Abstract Aim Research on mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) has increased exponentially in recent decades, and the significance of this ecosystem been recognised both terms biodiversity distribution. However, research mostly focussed corals is globally sporadic, with Indian Ocean remaining largely unexplored overall MCEs under protected. Hence, baseline data MCE benthic communities lacking, but nonetheless essential for developing adequate management strategies. Here, we assess variation...

Abstract High quality laboratory measurements of nearshore waves and morphology change at, or near prototype-scale are essential to support new understanding coastal processes enable the development validation predictive models.

It is projected that global mean sea level could rise up to 1 m this century with a strong regional pattern. estimated 20percent of England’s coastal defenses fail under just half rise. Ambitious climate mitigation and adaptation plans may protect 400,000 – 500,000 people, but flood erosion risks cannot be fully eliminated. Building resilience requires accurate wave overtopping prediction tools nowcast information prepare for respond hazards. In Dawlish, SW England, new monitoring system...
