Hundreds of coral paleoclimate records have been developed over the past several
decades, significantly extending the instrumental record and improving our understanding of …

Coral reefs maintain extraordinary biodiversity and provide protection from tsunamis and
storm surge, but inshore coral reef health is degrading in many regions due to deteriorating …

This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a
few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers …

The southwestern tropical Pacific is a key center for the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation
(IPO), which regulates global climate. This study introduces a groundbreaking 627-year …

Numerous archives suggest that the major ion and isotopic composition of seawater have
changed in parallel with large variations in geologic processes and Earth's climate …

The historical record of daily light cycle in tropical and subtropical regions is short. Moreover,
it remains difficult to extract this cycle in the past from natural archives such as biogenic …

The integrity of coral-based reconstructions of past climate variability depends on a
comprehensive knowledge of the effects of post-depositional alteration on coral skeletal …

Sodium concentrations in biogenic CaCO 3 are several thousands of parts per million, and,
on a molar basis, Na is among the most abundant constituent minor element in these …

Deep-sea scleractinian corals precipitate aragonite skeletons that provide valuable archives
of past ocean conditions. During calcification biological mediation causes variability in trace …

Abstract The coral Li/Mg temperature proxy is revisited through an in-depth trace element
analysis of scleractinians collected live from tropical to polar environments. The dataset …
