This review of late-Holocene palaeoclimatology represents the results from a
PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006. The review is in …

Abstract The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is a diagonal band of intense rainfall
and deep atmospheric convection extending from the equator to the subtropical South …

Massive scleractinian corals secrete an aragonitic skeleton which incorporates a large array
of chemical tracers. Corals present several advantages for palaeoclimate research: they …

This paper is a review of published modern coral δ18O and Δ14C isotopic records that are
at least 30 and 20 years long, respectively. The data are presented to show basin-scale …

The Ifaty coral record from off SW Madagascar provide a 336-year coral oxygen isotope
record that is used to investigate the natural variability of the western Indian Ocean …

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 South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is the largest and most persistent spur of the
Intertropical Convergence Zone. At the southeastern edge of the SPCZ near 170° W and 15° …

Various geochemical tracers measured in massive coral skeletons have the potential to
compliment other sources of high-resolution proxy climate information (eg tree rings, ice …

Abstract In the Pacific Ocean, the coherent pattern of interdecadal variations in sea surface
temperature (SST) over the last∼ 100 years has been termed the Interdecadal Pacific …

Understanding the nature and causes of climate variability and change in the tropical
oceans—the heat engine of the global climate system—is limited by the relatively short …
