History of the Core of the Western Pacifice Warm Pool

该项目将检查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。分年度抽样也将处理十年尺度变率的问题。将对过去200-300年间的两个孔隙岩样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梁龙记录的效用。

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.
