Saving corals requires cutting carbon emissions, University of Hawai‘i study finds
Critically, none of the species in the study could withstand a scenario where carbon emissions were not reduced.
The cow won’t jump over the moon, it will be stored there with all of Earth’s animals
Research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology and Smithsonian Institution is pitching an out-of-this-world idea to preserve Earth’s animals in the event of a global disaster — storing their cells on our lunar companion.
University of Hawai‘i leads research in developing tool to forecast coral disease
Insights gleaned from the tool can help managers better understand localized risks of coral disease and develop timely strategies for intervention.
New ‘Fish Pono’ campaign highlights herbivore fishes key to healthy coral reefs in Hawaiʻi
When herbivores — our reef’s lawnmowers — such as uhu (parrotfishes), nenue (chubs), kala, kole, manini, other surgeonfishes and sea urchins are in low abundance, coral reefs are overgrown with seaweeds and begin to suffocate and die.
International scientists offer new approach for selecting coral species for reef restoration
An international team of scientists, led by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researcher, has created an innovative approach to selecting key coral species that will best maintain ecosystem functions critical for reef health.
UH researchers using artificial intelligence for reef conservation
By developing novel deep learning algorithms, coral ecologists in the UH Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology are now able to identify and measure reef halos from space. The study was published recently in Remote Sensing of Environment.
UH study: Reef halos could enable coral telehealth checkup worldwide
These bands of bare, sandy seafloor surrounding coral patch reefs could provide a window into reef health around the globe.
