Kia ora, a reminder that the 6th International Ocean in a High CO2 Symposium registration is still open, even though the early bird is now closed. This symposium will bring together people in the different fields of marine climate change: highco2-vi.org/registration/

The deadline has been extended by one month for the symposium. If you work on marine climate change, mCDR, ocean acidification this is the venue for you. Please submit, we already have hundreds of abstracts, so it’s shaping up to be a great symposium!

Call for abstracts is open for the 6th International Symposium of the Ocean in a High CO2 World! We are looking for work that examined the impacts of ocean acidification, deoxygenation, mCDR, and multiple drivers of change: highco2-vi.org/call-for-abs...

Call for Abstracts – The Ocean in a High-CO2 World – 6th International Science SymposiumCall for Abstracts The Call for Abstracts is now open. Please submit your abstract no later than 1 April 2026 (any time zone). Full submission guidelineshighco2-vi.org

Does anyone have any JCP standard for coral geochemistry? I’ve reached out to most of my local contacts and we are starting to hit a wall! Please flick me a DM if you do. We only need a little bit and can repay the favour somehow

We describe the potential impacts of climate change on coral reef growth in our new article in The Conversation theconversation.com/the-future-r...

The future remains bleak for corals – but not all reefs are doomedCoral reefs are likely to erode even under low-emission scenarios, but some reefs may persist if corals evolve to become more resistant to ocean warming.theconversation.com

New paper out yesterday by us and a large group of collaborators in Nature Reviews Earth and Environment. We discuss the persistence of coral reef structures under climate change. We highlight several possible futures for coral reef carbonate production: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Persistence of coral reef structures into the twenty-first century - Nature Reviews Earth & EnvironmentCarbonate production and accretion is negatively affected by ocean warming and acidification, threatening coral reef persistence.

Beyond the beaches, Wellington’s catastrophic sewage spill could be bad news for coastal ecosystemsSewage spills are often seen as short-term public health crises. But the ecological impacts can be lasting, especially if combined with marine heatwaves and storms.theconversation.com

Pretty sad to see this occurring of our awesome coastline www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Wellington sewage outflow could kill marine reserve's kelp forest ecosystemA marine biologist says the worst case scenario if untreated sewage continues to be dumped in Wellington could be the die-off of the kelp forest ecosystem.www.rnz.co.nz

Check out our new paper exploring how giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) sporophytes from populations across Aotearoa New Zealand respond to marine heatwaves in simulated experiments. We find general similar sensitivities that tend towards similar thermal tolerances across large geographic areas.

New paper out by that describes data analysis tools creating by the Changing Ocean Biological systems Group last year at a workshop in Sweden. check them out for a good resource on coding and analysis: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our paper out today in @nature.com describes a grim fate for coral reef growth under climate change in the Western Atlantic. We also estimate that reef restoration could offer pockets of local hope, but overall cannot keep up with the effects of climate change www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reduced Atlantic reef growth past 2 °C warming amplifies sea-level impacts - NatureAn analysis of coral reefs in the tropical western Atlantic suggests that nearly all will be eroding by 2100 if global warming exceeds 2 °C, which will worsen the effects of sea-level rise.www.nature.com

Excited to announce that we will be hosting the 6th International Symposium on Oceans in a High CO2 World October 12 to 16th in Wellington at the Tākina event center! This conference will bring together marine climate change scientists from multiple disciplines. Save the date!

Our new paper in Journal of Phycology has come out today. Low light and low water motion can exacerbate the effects of marine heatwaves on giant kelp: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

If anyone is looking for regular updates on my group’s research or news, we are more frequently posting things on instagram. It’s not a perfect platform, but hey. Chrisecornwall is my handle, with my lab group updates and student work posted on coastal_eco_physio_group

Looking forward to it, see you all soon in Tauranga Aotearoa New Zealand 2028!!

Same here, loved catching up with friends! Now on to ITRS 2028 in Tauranga!

Check out some snaps from our recent MEDDLE workshop at #ITRS Brest, France on experimental design. Great participants! @scor-cobs.bsky.social
