气候变化，特别是热带海面温度上升，是当今珊瑚礁生态系统面临的最大威胁，并造成影响热带社会生计的极端气候。因此，评估未来的变暖将如何改变珊瑚礁生态系统和热带气候的变化是极其紧迫的。超高分辨率珊瑚地球化学提供了一个工具来了解珊瑚和珊瑚礁对持续的气候和环境变化的时间响应，重建过去的热带气候和环境变率，并将这些数据与先进的统计方法、地球系统建模和观察到的生态系统响应相结合，以改进对热带气候和珊瑚礁生态系统未来变化的预测。优先计划“热带气候变率与珊瑚礁-从过去到未来的超高分辨率当前变化率展望”（SPP 2299）旨在通过在与社会相关的时间尺度上量化正在变暖和过去变暖时期的气候和环境变化，加强我们目前对变暖世界中热带海洋气候变率及其对珊瑚礁生态系统影响的认识。该计划旨在提供一个超高分辨率的过去到未来的视角，了解当前的变化速度，以预测热带海洋气候变化和珊瑚礁生态系统将如何在变暖的世界中发生变化。

Climate change, in particular the rise in tropical sea surface temperatures, is the greatest threat to coral reef ecosystems today and causes climatic extremes affecting the livelihood of tropical societies. Assessing how future warming will change coral reef ecosystems and tropical climate variability is therefore of extreme urgency. Ultra-high resolution coral geochemistry provides a tool to understand the temporal response of corals and coral reefs to ongoing climate and environmental change, to reconstruct past tropical climate and environmental variability and to use these data in conjunction with advanced statistical methods, earth system modelling and observed ecosystem responses for improved projections of future changes in tropical climate and coral reef ecosystems. The Priority Programme “Tropical Climate Variability and Coral Reefs - A Past to Future Perspective on Current Rates of Change at Ultra-High Resolution” (SPP 2299) aims to enhance our current understanding of tropical marine climate variability and its impact on coral reef ecosystems in a warming world, by quantifying climatic and environmental changes during both the ongoing warming and past warm periods on timescales relevant for society. The programme aims to provide an ultra-high resolution past to future perspective on current rates of change to project how tropical marine climate variability and coral reef ecosystems will change in a warming world.
