RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OF CORAL δ18O OF PORITES LUTEA FROM SHALAO,HAINAN ISLAND

More Information
  • Received Date: October 19, 2005
  • Revised Date: February 15, 2006
  • Based on the determination of the oxygen isotopic analysis of the skeleton of living Porites lutea in Shalao fringing reef, Hainan Island, we obtained a coral δ18O record for an 11 year period(1992-2002). We have assessed the characteristics of coral δ18O signals responding to environmental conditions by comparing coral δ18O variation with a local record of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS), respectively. We conclude from our comparison that the annual variation of δ18O is controlled by SST, whereas the seasonal variation of it by SSS.
