International audienceMassive corals have features which make them peculiarly suitable for reconstructing the climate of past centuries in the tropics, a region of the globe that has known major climatic changes. The coral skeleton grows rapidly and continuously over several thousand years; moreover this skeleton is in aragonite, a form of calcium carbonate material that offers both a seasonal resolution and a multicentennial record and allows several proxies to be measured. However the empirical formula linking the oxygen isotopic composition (δ 18 O) to temperature, commonly used for other carbonate organisms, fails to reconstruct realistic climate during the last century. Investigations conducted to improve our understanding of the tempe...
