Last month, ESSIC/CISESS Senior Faculty Specialist Jacqueline De La Cour received a commendation from the NOAA/NESDIS/STAR Satellite Oceanography and Climatology Division for her work to secure full funding totaling almost $4 million for the NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) for fiscal years 2021-2023.
We are proud to honor Dr. Gang Liu, ESSIC/CISESS Associate Research Scientist and NOAA/NESDIS/STAR affiliate, who is celebrating 20 years with NOAA Coral Reef Watch this month.
On April 30, 2020, NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) and NESDIS’ Office of Satellite and Product Operations retired CRW’s heritage twice-weekly global 50km satellite coral bleaching heat stress monitoring product suite, replacing it with CRW’s next-generation daily global 5km coral bleaching heat stress monitoring products.
NOAA Coral Reef Watch’s (CRW) daily global 5km satellite coral bleaching heat stress products indicate high oceanic heat stress is present along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in Australia, and is expected to remain through March.
Staff from NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW), an initiative supported by the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC)-administered Cooperative Institute for Satellite Earth System Studies (CISESS), just co-authored a new publication on heat stressed coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. They provide significant ecological, economic, and societal benefits, from supporting marine species to protecting our coastlines to generating $9.8 trillion per year globally and $3.4 billion in the United States alone.
