(in review) A modeling tool to evaluate regional coral reef responses to changes in climate and ocean chemistry. Below: mild events in 2030, 2040, and 2080; a moderate event in 2050, and a severe event in 2070. (It looks bad, but with all of that it’s only down to 40% in 2070)

13. 4. Future Plans Global change and coral reefs (ocean acidification, coral bleaching) -Mesocosm Studies -Field Studies -Monitoring Network -Modeling Ecological studies throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago (Integrated ecological studies of Main Hawaiian Islands and Northwest Hawaiian Islands). Develop information needed for intelligent environmental management.
