Michael Gordge,

Seeing you "ducked" my responses in the thread CO2 Science on the 25th July
2007, may I take this opportunity to hand feed you a few more URL's?

XOXOXOXOX SEAN

"To a patient scientist, the unfolding greenhouse mystery is far more
exciting than the plot of the best mystery novel. But it is slow reading,
with new clues sometimes not appearing for several years. Impatience
increases when one realizes that it is not the fate of some fictional
character, but of our planet and species, which hangs in the balance as the
great carbon mystery unfolds at a seemingly glacial pace."

Charlie Veron, legendary research scientist from the Australian Institute of
Marine Sciences is Gregg Borschmann's guest in today's program. What do
coral reefs tell us about past and future worlds? Did Charles Darwin get
evolution wrong? Over the past three decades, Charlie Veron has unravelled
some of the answers as he's rewritten the scientific book and understanding
of corals. He has dived on reefs around the globe as he's discovered and
named a quarter of the world's coral species.

Our guest today is marine biologist, John (Charlie) Veron. Did Charles
Darwin only get the evolutionary story half right? Are the earth's 1000
coral species canaries on our miner's helmet, pointers to worlds past and
future - worlds of great change and almost incomprehensible time scales?
And, perhaps most importantly, how much are we now tipping those scales?

Abstract Detailed mapping of coral bleaching events provides an opportunity
to examine spatial patterns in bleaching over scales of 10 s to 1,000 s of
km and the spatial correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and
bleaching. We present data for two large-scale (2,000 km) bleaching events
on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR): one from 1998 and another from 2002, both
mapped by aerial survey methods.

SEAN: No, he loves the attention!

And it's nothing "personal" in the way you might think it is. I'm not like
Michael! I don't take such things as emotionally as he may. It [ my
replies ] are my "aussie" sense of humour, which often goes over others
heads, especially Americans. ;-)
