This review of late-Holocene palaeoclimatology represents the results from a
PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection Panel meeting that took place in June 2006. The review is in …

In spite of more than one century and half of studies, mechanisms of coral biomineralization,
leading to coral growth and reef formation, still remain poorly known, although major global …

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a novel technology ideally suited to a
wide range of geological investigations. It is a quick and nondestructive method to produce …

Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Scleractinian (hard) corals are fundamental to the geomorphology, biodiversity, and
structure of coral reef ecosystems (Goreau 1963, Hoegh-Guldberg 2004, Pratchett et al …

This is the first book covering an interdisciplinary field between microwave spectroscopy of
electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) or electron spin resonance (ESR) and chronology …

Reef-building corals are under increasing physiological stress from a changing climate and
ocean absorption of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide. We investigated 328 colonies …

Three common species of Hawaiian reef corals, Pocillopora damicornis (L.), Montipora
verrucosa (Lamarck) and Fungia scutaria Lamarck, were grown in a temperature-regulated …

Annual density banding provided growth characteristics for 245 similar-sized, massive
colonies of Porites from similar locations on 29 reefs from across the length and breadth of …

Isotope paleontology uses the isotopic composition of fossil remains of organisms to make
inferences about the physical surroundings of growth of the organisms (especially …
