Summary

These data are netcdf files of the projected timing of the onset of thermal stress severe enough (>8 Degree Heating Weeks) to cause coral bleaching 2x per decade and 10x per decade (annual) under emissions scenarios RCP8.5 and RCP4.5. The projected timing (a year between 2006 and 2100) is the data value. Values are only shown for the ~60,000 four-km pixels where coral reefs are known to occur.

Purpose

The data can be used to inform conservation and resource management planning at multiple scales. Locations projected to experience annual severe bleaching later than other locations within the same management jurisdiction (or country/territory) may have lower relative vulnerability to climate change than other locations. These relative refugia represent conservation priorities.
