Abstract
The Fourth Global Coral Bleaching Event unfolded amidst the accelerating impacts of climate change, underscoring the urgent need to reassess the relationship between coral bleaching trends and climatic shifts. This study examined the influence of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and cumulative thermal stress, quantified by Degree Heating Weeks (DHW), on coral bleaching rates from early 2023 to mid-2024. Satellite-derived coral risk data were analyzed for correlation with field survey data. The results revealed that SST anomalies alone were insufficient to significantly predict coral bleaching events. However, a significant positive correlation was found between DHW and coral bleaching rates, indicating that cumulative thermal stress is a critical predictor of bleaching events. This finding emphasizes the necessity of implementing an effective monitoring and early warning system based on DHW thresholds to mitigate the impacts of coral bleaching, especially given the increasing frequency of such events in the context of climate change.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
