View, Subset and Download Data
BCO-DMO is preparing to move to a new data access system that provides more functionality and features. This system, called ERDDAP, is free and open source with a strong and growing user community. Currently, we are providing the following data access and download capabilities for datasets as we work through our legacy data holdings. These capabilities will soon be available for all data at BCO-DMO:Data Access
- - view the data in an HTML table
- - filter the data before viewing or downloading in a variety of formats
- - download the data with comma-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data with tab-separated values (Excel-ready)
- - download the data as GeoJSON. Try it out at geojson.io
- - download the data as a valid MATLAB file
- - download the data in NetCDF format
- - download the data in Ocean Data View format

Summary data from the Heatwaves and Coral-Recovery Database (HeatCRD) covering global coral reef sites from 1977-2020
Abstract:
This dataset is a summary table of the Heatwaves and Coral-Recovery Database (HeatCRD) introduced in van Woesik and Kratochwill (2024). The HeatCRD is the most comprehensive reference on coral recovery following marine heatwaves and other disturbances, encompassing 29,205 data records spanning 44 years from 12,266 sites, 83 countries, and 160 data sources. These data provide essential information to coral-reef scientists and managers to best guide coral-reef conservation efforts at both local and regional scales.
The dataset includes metadata for coral reef sampling events, such as site descriptions, geographical coordinates, depth, distance to shore, exposure, turbidity, coral cover percentages, MPA descriptions, temperature measurements, windspeed, and thermal stress indicators over 23 years.
