Hundreds of coral paleoclimate records have been developed over the past several
decades, significantly extending the instrumental record and improving our understanding of …

Fossil corals provide valuable data for reconstructing past sea levels, as they are often well
preserved in the fossil record and can be dated with U-series methods. Here we present a …

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O and δ13C values) and trace elements have been
applied to the study of diagenesis of carbonate rocks for over 50 years. As valuable as these …

Most annually resolved climate reconstructions of the Common Era are based on terrestrial
data, making it a challenge to independently assess how recent climate changes have …

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

Recent research has revealed new insights into the temperature, size, and variability of the
Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) and the nature of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) …
