Abstract The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) has major climate impacts worldwide, and most
profoundly for nations around the Indian Ocean basin. It has been 20 years since the IOD …

ABSTRACT The Chagos Archipelago was designated a no‐take marine protected area
(MPA) in 2010; it covers 550 000 km2, with more than 60 000 km2 shallow limestone …

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 …

Several studies have drawn attention to the steady warming of the equatorial and tropical
Indian Ocean (IO) sea surface temperature (SST) observed during recent decades. An …

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 …

Stable oxygen isotopic ratios in corals (δ18Ocoral) are commonly utilized to reconstruct
climate variability beyond the limit of instrumental observations. These measurements …

In order to assess the fidelity of coral Sr/Ca for quantitative reconstructions of sea surface
temperature variations, we have generated three monthly Sr/Ca time series from Porites …

The response of the hydrological cycle to anthropogenic climate change, especially across
the tropical oceans, remains poorly understood due to the scarcity of long instrumental …

Paleoceanographic data from sites near the equator in the eastern and western Pacific
Ocean show that sea-surface temperatures, and apparently also the depth and temperature …

Reconstructions of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) ideally require high-quality,
annually resolved and long-running palaeoclimate proxy records in the eastern tropical …
