RESEARCH FUNDED BY: United Kingdom Natural Environment Research Council

GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Western equatorial Pacific 
PERIOD OF RECORD: 1922 - 1991 A.D.


DESCRIPTION: 
Samples were collected in 1991 and 1992 from massive Porites corals in 
Madang Lagoon (5 deg 13'S; 145deg 49'E, .2M Depth) and at Duranguit Reef, 
Laing Island (4deg 9'S; 144deg 53'E; 3M Depth), Bismark Sea coast, 
Papua New Guinea.

The isotope record displays a marked seasonality, with an average annual range
of 0.3-0.4% and as much as 0.8% PDB.  Smoothed coral 18O records are correlated 
with both Madang rainfall and Tahiti-Darwin SOI.
