TL;DR: In this article, the effect of light and temperature on the skeleton of coral Acropora sp. was investigated for the purpose of evaluating temperature proxies for paleoceanographic applications, and the authors concluded that there is a strong biological control on the incorporation of Mg.

TL;DR: In this article, a surface water radiocarbon reservoir age record of the high latitude western North Atlantic for the deglacial period via the use of fossil cold-water corals growing in waters that are rapidly exchanged with nearby surface waters is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the Laschamp geomagnetic field excursion on the long-term trend of the Δ 14 C record was analyzed and a significant fraction of the longterm Δ 14 c trend may be due to inaccuracies in the generally accepted 14 C decay constant.
