Li/Mg systematics in scleractinian corals: Calibration of the thermometer
We show that the Li/Mg systematics of a large suite of aragonitic coral skeletons,
representing a wide range of species inhabiting disparate environments, provides a robust …

Stable Sr-isotope, Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca, Li/Ca and Mg/Li ratios in the scleractinian cold-water coral lophelia pertusa
The aragonitic skeletons of scleractinian cold-water corals can serve as valuable archives in
paleoceanographic studies. The potential of δ 88/86 Sr, Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca, Li/Ca and Mg/Li …

Stable strontium isotopes (δ88/86Sr) in cold-water corals—a new proxy for reconstruction of intermediate ocean water temperatures
Zooxanthellate scleractinian corals are known as archives for temporal variations of climate
variables, such as sea surface temperature, salinity or productivity. The use of …

A biological origin for climate signals in corals—Trace element “vital effects” are ubiquitous in Scleractinian coral skeletons
Laser ablation ICP/MS was used to analyze Mg, Sr and U at fine (hundreds of microns) and
seasonal spatial scales in the reef coral Porites and the non‐photosynthetic “deep‐sea” …

Compositional variability in a cold‐water scleractinian, Lophelia pertusa: New insights into “vital effects”
We analyzed Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios in the thecal wall of Lophelia pertusa, a cold‐water
coral, using SIMS ion microprobe techniques. The wall grows by simultaneous upward …
