THE CORAL RECORD OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN THE GREAT BARRIER REEF:QUANTIFICATION OF ANTHROPOGENIC FLUXES

大堡礁环境影响的珊瑚记录：人为通量的定量。该提案的目的是量化陆地通量增加和气候变化对大堡礁珊瑚礁的环境影响。要做到这一点，将采用一种综合办法，其依据是保存在长寿（200-400岁）滨珊瑚的碳酸盐骨骼中的河流羽流和海面温度的珊瑚代用记录。这将与河流洪水羽流和珊瑚礁的监测和过程研究相结合，并为确保GBR的长期可持续性提供科学依据。

THE CORAL RECORD OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN THE GREAT BARRIER REEF:QUANTIFICATION OF ANTHROPOGENIC FLUXES. The objective of this proposal is to quantify the environmental impacts of enhanced terrestrial fluxes and climate change on the coral reefs in the Great Barrier Reef. This will be achieved by using an integrated approach based on coral proxy records of river plumes and sea surface temperatures that are preserved in carbonate skeletons of the long-lived (200-400 year old) Porites coral. This will be integrated with monitoring and process studies of river flood plumes and coral reefs and provide a scientific basis to ensure the long-term sustainability of the GBR.
