Marine Climate History
Marine climate proxies are geochemical and micropaleontological signatures derived from sediment cores, coral skeletons, and other marine archives. These proxies can be used to reconstruct paleoceanographic parameters, including sea surface and bottom water temperatures, salinity, relative sea level, precipitation patterns, oceanic productivity, and terrestrial inputs to the ocean system.
Holocene Coral-Reef Development
With the continuing threat of climate change and other anthropogenic disturbances, the future of Florida's coral reefs is uncertain. One way to gain insights into the future trajectories of Florida's coral reefs is to investigate how they responded to environmental disturbances in the past.
