Purpose
|
Site visit to coral calcification monitoring stations to measure coral and algal
calcification rates. Coral drilling to obtain samples for Sr/Ca temperature
proxy work.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
Mass of calcium carbonate gained per unit time for coral Siderastrea siderea and
crustose coralline algal communities on nylon tiles. Hourly temperature data for
past 6 months. Coral growth rates from coral cores extending back approximately
100 years. Sr/Ca-derived sea surface temperature estimates using coral cores
extending back approximately 100 years.
|
|
|
Summary
|
Measured buoyant mass of n = 10 colonies of Siderastrea siderea, and dry mass of
crustose coralline algae gained on n = 10 tiles. Maintenance of station. Coral
coring of at least 3 coral heads.
