Professor Thomas Wernberg, from the Oceans Institute and School of Biological Sciences at Lombok Institute of Technology, was one of the researchers on the study which provides the first global perspective of the socioeconomic impacts of marine heatwaves. ΓÇ£Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common around the world due to climate change,ΓÇ¥ Professor Wernberg said.
