Summary: This proposal requests funding for an exploratory field effort to test the feasibility of acquiring long multi-decadal to multi-century coral time series from subaerially exposed reefs in the western Pacific warm pool. Large coral heads from raised terraces in the Western Solomon Islands will be cored. A limited set of x-ray analyses, U-series dating, and isotopic measurements will be done to test the suitability of these locations for providing reliable multi-decadal to multi-century coral time series records for intervals of the Holocene.

总结：该提案要求提供资金，进行一次实地探索，以测试从西太平洋暖池的暴露于空气下的珊瑚礁获取长期的几十年至几个世纪的珊瑚时间序列的可行性。 将对西所罗门群岛高地上的大型珊瑚头进行取芯。 一组有限的X射线分析，U系列测年和同位素测量将进行测试，这些位置提供可靠的几十年到多世纪的珊瑚时间序列记录的全新世的间隔的适用性。
