Deep reefs of the Great Barrier Reef offer limited thermal refuge during mass coral bleaching Deep reefs of the Great Barrier Reef offer limited thermal refuge during mass coral bleaching, Published online: 04 September 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-05741-0 It has been suggested that deep coral reefs offer a refuge against warming and mass bleaching.
