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 …

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

The formation and sinking of biogenic particles mediate vertical mass fluxes and drive
elemental cycling in the ocean. Whereas marine sciences have focused primarily on particle …

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 …

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 study presents a comprehensive assessment of high-resolution Southern Hemisphere
(SH) paleoarchives covering the last 2000 years. We identified 174 monthly to annually …

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 …

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° …
