Variations in the 18 O/16 O ratio of marine fossils and microfossils record changes in
seawater 18 O/16 O and temperature and provide the basis for global correlation. Based on …

Uptake of anthropogenic CO2 by the oceans is altering seawater chemistry with potentially
serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems due to the reduction of seawater pH and …

To evaluate the isotopic record of climate change and carbon sequestration in the Late
Paleozoic, we have compiled new and published oxygen and carbon isotopic …

Geochemical variations in shallow water corals provide a valuable archive of paleoclimatic
information. However, biological effects can complicate the interpretation of these proxies …

Oxygen isotope paleotemperature studies of the Mesozoic and Paleozoic are based mainly
on conodonts, belemnite guards, and brachiopod shells—material resistant to diagenesis …

The 44Ca/40Ca ratios of cultured (Acropora sp.) and open ocean (Pavona clavus, Porites
sp.) tropical reef corals are positively correlated with growth temperature. The slope of the …

Giant clams are reef-dwelling bivalves that reach unusual sizes through a partnership with
photosymbiotic algae. To date, no shell-based biogeochemical proxy has been found which …

In order to assess pollutants and impact of environmental changes in the coastal region of
the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba, concentrations of six metals were traced through variations in 5 …

Six percent of the world's coral reefs occur around the Arabian Peninsula, providing a
valuable ecological, economic and scientific resource for the nations bordering its shores …

Annually banded reef corals from the northern Red Sea provide a high-resolution archive of
past climate variations at the southeastern rim of the Mediterranean basin. Subseasonally …
