High-resolution climate records in shallow marine bivalve shells of the tropical western Pacific ocean

西太平洋低纬度地区在地球气候系统中扮演着重要的角色。潮间带双壳类记录了各种环境和生态变化。本文分析了在不同地点采集的几种热带双壳类动物的壳部的生物地球化学特征。这些物种的壳生长和氧同位素模式受海水表面温度和盐度的控制。此外，它将有可能重建日常级别的事件，如台风。

The low-latitute area of the western Pacific assumes an important role in Earth's climate system. Intertidal bivalves record various environmental and ecological changes. In this study, sclerochronological and bio-geochemistry measurements in shell portions of several species of tropical bivalve shells collected from various sites were analyzed. Shell growth and oxygen isotope patterns of these species are controlled by seasurface temperature and salinity. Furthermore, it will be possible to reconstruct daily level events such as typhoon.
