But this heat stress tank may hold the key to finding the most heat-resilient corals in Belize’s waters. As climate change and other human-caused stressors continue to push…

Thanks to this rich record, we know that the Jurassic was the age of dinosaurs roaming a tropical Earth filled with ferns, flowering plants, and conifers.
