SEMINARS
An exposed coral reef in Panama. Exposures during La Niña
events, such as this one in 2010, kill the corals en masse.
Frequent La Niña -like events helped drive a long-term collapse of
reef ecosystems across the Pacific, which began around 4000 years
ago and lasted 2500 years.

Exposiciones como esta del 2010 durante el fenómeno de La Niña mató
a los corales en masa. Eventos frecuentes parecidos a La Niña
ayudaron a impulsar un colapso a largo plazo de los ecosistemas de
arrecifes en el Pacífico, que inició cerca de unos 4,000 años y
duró 2,500 años.
