Bleaching events are expected to become more frequent and more severe in the decades ahead. This dataset presents climate model projections showing the year in which reefs will experience annual severe bleaching conditions (i.e. thermal stress >8 DHWs) under SSP 2-4.5. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The purpose of this datais threefold: 1. To present projections of coral bleaching conditions (i.e., exposure to the primary climate threat to coral reefs) and potential adaptation at a spatial scale that enables use of the data in management and conservation planning and in support of other decisions influencing coral reefs and reef use; 2. To evaluate the implications of the Paris Agreement as well as failure to achieve its goal, by comparing the projected timing of annual severe bleaching between Shared Socioeconomic Pathways SSP5-8.5 and SSP2-4.5; and 3. To provide public access to the projections data as well as the main findings to catalyze research that extends the purposes and applications described in 1 and 2, and informs new research.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
