This fact sheet describes a paleotempestology project (SGP-CRA 2050) led by Louisiana State University to analyze long-term hurricane activity variability in the pan-Caribbean region and the Pacific coast of Mexico using proxy data from sediments, stalagmites, tree-rings, and corals.

This fact sheet describes project CRN2050, a paleotempestology study using proxy data—such as coral, stalagmites, and lagoon sediments—to analyze the spatial and temporal variability of hurricane activity in the pan-Caribbean region.

This fact sheet describes a study by Jeffrey Donnelly and colleagues on Atlantic hurricane activity over the last 1,500 years, using proxy data from statistical models and sedimentary records to identify historical peaks in storm frequency.

This executive summary from the World Resources Institute details the threats facing global coral reefs, emphasizing the combined impact of local human activities and global climate change. It highlights the critical socio-economic value of reefs for millions of people and the inadequacy of current marine protected areas (MPAs) in ensuring reef resilience.
