This project will examine coral records from the core of the Western Pacific Warm Pool to determine whether there is evidence of long-term changes in maximum temperature that might indicate global warming. Subannual sampling will also address the question of decade-scale variability. Two Porites specimens spanning in the last 200-300 years will be analyzed for stable isotopes and trace elements. In addition, the project will explore the utility of records from the long-lived Diploastrea.

该项目将研究西太平洋暖池核心的珊瑚记录，以确定是否有证据表明最高温度的长期变化可能表明全球变暖。 半年一次的抽样也将解决十年一级的变异问题。 将对过去200-300年的两个滨珊瑚标本进行稳定同位素和微量元素分析。 此外，该项目还将探索长寿的Diploastrea记录的效用。
