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

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 …

Precipitation in low latitudes is primarily controlled by the position of the intertropical
convergence zone, which migrates from south to north seasonally. The Little Ice Age …

Water availability is fundamental to societies and ecosystems, but our understanding of
variations in hydroclimate (including extreme events, flooding, and decadal periods of …

Coral-based climate reconstructions are typically based on a single record and this lack of
replication leads to questions in regards to chronology accuracy and reliability of the …

Paleotemperature estimates based on coral Sr/Ca have not been widely accepted because
the reconstructed glacial‐Holocene shift in tropical sea‐surface temperature (∼ 4–6° C) is …

Coral‐based climate reconstructions typically have not used multiple cores from a region to
capture and replicate a climate signal largely because of concerns of coral conservation …

Quantitative estimates of natural climate variability are required to detect anthropogenic
climate trends in the tropical Pacific; however, instrumental records from this region are too …

Lack of constraint on spatial and long-term temporal variability of the El Niño southern
Oscillation (ENSO) and its sensitivity to external forcing limit our ability to evaluate climate …

Distributions of Mg and Sr in the skeletons of a deep-sea coral (Caryophyllia ambrosia) and
a shallow-water, reef-building coral (Pavona clavus) have been obtained with a spatial …
