Abstract

Reef corals live in the boundary between the land, sea, atmosphere, and humans, sensitively recording environmental changes on their skeletons. Reef corals grow their skeletons with annual rings. The chemical compositions in coral skeletons provide the changes in past water temperature, salinity, solar radiation, nutrients, etc., on a high-resolution time scale (weekly to monthly) during hundreds to thousands of years, the period of coral life. It is an important environmental archive in tropical and subtropical regions with few observations. Furthermore, using fossil corals makes it possible to read the environment in which prehistoric people lived. In this seminar, I would like to introduce changes in the global environment as revealed by the record of reef corals and the history of the interaction between the environment and humans, based on my fieldwork experience in tropical and subtropical regions.
