Can pumping up cold water from deep within the ocean halt coral bleaching?

Wednesday, September 16, 2020 - 14:31 in Earth & Climate

Rising ocean temperatures cause marine heat waves, which place stress on living coral animals, as well as the photosynthetic algae on which they depend for energy. A new study is showing potential for the use of artificial upwelling (AU)-- or the application of cooler, deep water -- as a way to mitigate the thermal stress on corals.
