Determining the rates, mechanisms, and geographic variability of relative sea-level (RSL)
change following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) provides insight into the sensitivity of ice …

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

Global warming causes the poleward shift of the trailing edges of marine ectotherm species
distributions. In the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, continental masses and …

Deep-sea corals were discovered over a century ago, but it is only over recent years that
focused efforts have been made to explore the history of the oceans using the geochemistry …

Aim A large body of ecological theory predicts that non‐indigenous species (NIS) are
successful invaders if their niches overlap little with native taxa. Native–non‐indigenous trait …

Time averaging of fossil assemblages determines temporal precision of paleoecological and
geochronological inferences. Taxonomic differences in intrinsic skeletal durability are …

Radiocarbon dates on marine shell and other materials of marine origin appear significantly
older than contemporaneous samples of terrestrial/atmospheric origin. Misunderstandings …

The Southern Ocean regulates the ocean's biological sequestration of CO2 and is widely
suspected to underpin much of the ice age decline in atmospheric CO2 concentration, but …

Climate plays a central role in coral-reef development, especially in marginal environments.
The high-latitude reefs of southeast Florida are currently non-accreting, relict systems with …

The circulation of intermediate waters plays an important role in global heat and carbon
transport in the ocean and changes in their distribution are closely tied to glacial–interglacial …
