Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Coral World: Ask the Scientists at the Islamic Arts Biennale in #Jeddah last weekend.
KAUST scientists Francesca Benzoni, Raquel Peixoto, Michelle Havlik, and David Suggett, with facilitation by Michael Berumen, led a dynamic discussion on the importance of Red Sea corals and how we can better protect these vital ecosystems.

My new piece in Guardian: 🪸How corals conjure magnificence from nothing! 🪸
Corals build massive reefs in wet deserts by working with microbes to create the ultimate circular economy
They've survived mass extinctions but now face dire climate threats

Seasonal variations of temperature modify coral thermal tolerance threshold for Pocillopora verrucosa species while Acropora spp. remain unchanged when exposed to the same in situ conditions.
