Coral-based paleoclimate research

Coral-based paleoclimate research has grown tremendously in the last few decades. Most of the published records come from living corals and report the reconstructed SST, SSS, rainfall, water circulation pattern, or some combination of these variables. Records from fossil and deep-sea corals are also increasing. The goal of this chapter is to provide an overview of the current state of coral-based paleoclimate research and a list of further readings for those interested in more detailed information.
