An enigmatic decoupling between heat stress and coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef

@jess_carilli We published it in @PeerJ instead because they post the peer-review history. I would love for the Coral Reef reviews to be public just to highlight the ridiculousness and ignorance of this one reviewer. https://t.co/FSJZisqsYx
@thePeerJ @HugoBHarrison My poll was not scientific, but it revealed that those who follow me on Twitter (mostly coral scientists) have many misconceptions about the history of temperature and bleaching on the GBR. I hope our paper in @thePeerJ helps to clarify @HugoBHarrison https://t.co/FSJZisqsYx
In my poll last week, 70% of respondents said that maximum GBR-wide temperatures were reached in 2016. Only 11% correctly chose 2004, which was not a major bleaching event. Surprised? See our new paper in @thePeerJ to find out more. https://t.co/FSJZisqsYx @HugoBHarrison https://t.co/53QTBURuwF
New paper in @thePeerJ with @HugoBHarrison, "An enigmatic decoupling between heat stress and coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef" Satellite-logger validations, the bleaching event that wasn't, and the role of currents in modulating coral bleaching https://t.co/FSJZisqsYx
