New groundbreaking research from Southern Cross University has uncovered remarkable variation in coral heat tolerance on the iconic Great Barrier Reef. This discovery offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the key to the reef’s recovery and adaptation may lie within the genetic diversity of its corals.

Discovery offers hope that these naturally resilient corals could play a critical role in helping the Great Barrier Reef survive heat stress due to climate crisis

In research published today, we discovered surprising new evidence of variable heat tolerance in corals. As the world's oceans warm, these differences are important.

New research uncovers coral heat tolerance, offering hope for reef restoration amid rising ocean temperatures.

A recent study by Southern Cross University has discovered that corals on the Great Barrier Reef exhibit previously unknown levels of heat tolerance, suggesting that their genetic diversity could play a crucial role in their survival and recovery.
