Today is the day – I am making a presentation asking the question How do Marine Heat Waves affect cold-water corals in the deep -sea? at the GeoHab habitat mapping conference in Arendal, Norway. And just now yesterday/today’s BBC news headlines show that ocean temperature has seen a record breaking year of heat every single day. My presentation and recent desktop study examines 28 years of data from the cold-water coral area(s) addressing this deep ocean knowledge gap. It highlights how important this issue is today and in future. More information can be found at the following links:
