Assessment of the impacts of rapid Marine Heatwaves and cumulative thermal stress on cold-water upwelling coral refugia

This study introduces a combined Marine Heatwaves-Degree Heating Weeks (MHW-DHW) analysis to evaluate climate change impacts on three coral refugia: Green Island, Nanwan Bay, and Dongsha Atoll. MHWs reflect rapid rises in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and their timing, while DHW captures sustained h...
