From: Warming Trends and Bleaching Stress of the World’s Coral Reefs 1985–2012
Frequency of bleaching-level thermal stress events among reef regions, 1985–2012.
Bleaching-level stress is defined as DHW ≥ 4 °C-weeks. Maps (left) show results for a subset of each region; histograms (right) show the distribution of results in the full region with the regional average ± one standard deviation. Reef regions are as per Burke et al. 2011. Data are provided for each histogram in Table S5. Data visualisations produced using IDL [8.3] (Exelis Visual Information Solutions, Boulder, Colorado).
