Threats to Coral
Threats to Coral Reefs Identifying and Addressing Threats to Reef Communities SCROLL TO LEARN MORE What We Mean by "Threats" Coral reefs face a variety of anthropogenic and environmental stressors from warming ocean temperatures and bleaching events to disease brought on by climate change and increased human activity, leading to degradation, loss of biodiversity, and [...]Willem Klajbor

AOML Interns Dive into DNA Extraction and Processing Coral Samples for ‘Omics Analyses
Only a few weeks into summer, Coral Program Interns Lorelei Ing, Taylor Gill, Zachary Zagon and Kenzie Cooke have been hard at work as they process coral samples and perform DNA extractions in preparation for ‘Omics analyses that will help to better understand how the genetic structure of corals influences their resilience to environmental stressors. The Coral Program falls within the Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division (OCED) at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML).

Fifty-Five Days at Sea: Collecting Oceanographic Data from Brazil to Iceland
On May 9, a team of scientists aboard the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown arrived at their final destination in Reykjavik, Iceland following 55 days at sea. The team of 50 scientists and 28 crew members followed a track through the North Atlantic, from Brazil to Iceland, referred to as the A16N transect, and successfully completed 150 stations, collecting over 3,000 samples from the Atlantic’s surface to the seafloor, giving scientists a holistic snapshot of the Atlantic Ocean basin.
NOAA Scientists Publish a New River Chemistry and Discharge Dataset for U.S. Rivers
A new river chemistry and discharge dataset for U.S. coasts has been released. A recent publication by scientists at NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Northern Gulf Institute (NGI), and NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) provides a river chemistry and discharge dataset for 140 U.S. rivers along the West, East, and Gulf of America coasts, based on historical records from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This dataset will be very useful for regional ocean biogeochemical modeling and carbon chemistry studies.
