Just in case you haven’t seen the most recent paper from our group, @reefwally.bsky.social investigated solar bias in commonly used temperature loggers. Long story short, the accuracy of your in situ measurements depends on your deployment method and you should always shade your loggers! 🧪🌊
🚨New paper alert! Do you deploy loggers to monitor temperature in coral reefs, or any shallow aquatic environments? Do you shade them from direct sunlight? You should! 🌊🦑 journals.plos.org/climate/arti...
Widespread inconsistency in logger deployment methods in coral reef studies may bias perceptions of thermal regimes
Ocean warming is the greatest threat to coral reefs, prompting a need to accurately monitor in situ temperatures. Advancements in sensing technologies have led to a proliferation of temperature logger...

I started surveying the shallow reef flats in front of KAUST for my PhD in 2020. I was impressed that corals could live in such extreme conditions - the water hits 38ºC in the summer! However, heatwaves in '23 and '24 were too much even for these corals. Today's survey had nearly 100% mortality 😞 🌊🦑

It was great to be involved in this study! 🌡️🪸 Amazing work from Wally and everyone involved!

All of this was down by a great team of marine scientists from KAUST and Bangor University. Can't wait to revisit these sites next year and continue this project for years to come! 🦑

Home for the next week! We're off to the Farasan Banks of the south-central Red Sea to repeat some coral reef surveys. We visited in early June to gather benthic data and deploy temperature loggers. This data will shed light on how the unique oceanography of this region influences reef communities 🌊
