Cyclones cause patchy damage to corals and coral reefs. This damage occurs at multiple spatial scales, from a few metres within a reefscape, to a few hundred meters within a bay, to tens of kilometers between whole reefs or islands.
On January 25th 2024, category 2 Cyclone Kirrily passed over the top of Yunbenun, Magnetic Island, in the central Great Barrier Reef, with sustained winds of 45-65 knots for several hours. The associated waves caused considerable patchy damage to the corals and the reef matrix itself at most sites around the island.
This short video sequence of the same free-dive line through Gowrie Cove filmed before and after the cyclone provides a great example of how patchy the small-scale damage can be. Some corals have survived with only some branches snapped off, while just nearby, whole coral colonies and sections of the reef matrix itself have been scoured away by heavy wave action. While all bays around the island showed plenty of evidence of physical damage to corals and scouring of the seafloor by wave action, there are plenty of corals that remained alive, and these will kick start the process of reef recovery.
Cyclones are very much part of the natural dynamic processes on the Great Barrier Reef, and the corals have evolved over millions of years with these acute disturbance events. However, the return time for cyclones is about 10-15 years, so we don't get many chances to study them, and we now have a very important window of time to collect information about the winners and losers in these sorts of severe, infrequent impact events.

💥 It’s Friday again and time for some #challenge-Ideas 🚀
Have you ever heard about the “Arctic Circle Race”? - No? Me neither, until Becca Mark asked me a couple of months ago if I would be up for this #adventure.
Unfortunately it didn’t fit into my training schedule, but hey - maybe in the years to follow. 🙂 At least Becca is on her way to Arjeplog right now to face a Trail Running-Challenge. The organizers describe this adventure as follows:
“To fly a helicopter through the wilderness in this region is nothing unusual.
Many of the residents of Arjeplog have probably done it more than once. Perhaps for the grouse hunt that begins in late summer. Or reindeer keepers who use the helicopter as an effective resource in their business.
A less common cause is to be flown 18 km in the wilderness to run back to civilization, but now you have your chance!”
“The challenge is 18 kms through rough terrain.
You will fly with a helicopter 18 kms into the wilderness and run along the polar circle back to civilization. Take the chance to experience the magnificent nature and sense of freedom that is present in this race.”
Becca - enjoy the Challenge ahead and let us know how the experience was up there!
And for the others….who would be up for such an adventure?

To understand this photo is to also understand how the #LogisticIndustry is #moving within the recent days. Coping and mostly succeeding with these events is definitely the main Goal #SuezCanal 🚢
Where and how do we 'see' #race in the city? How is #Whiteness filtering the act of 'seeing' race in a diverse city like Rotterdam? Excited to work again with my former colleague Mélodine Sommier on a self-reflexive approach to encountering #race, #ethnicity and #nation in everyday urban contexts. Here's a small example of how urban contexts evoke and naturalize problematic forms of social categorization, re-investing them with new (and sanitized) meanings that appeal to us as middle-class consumers of the Other.
