Li/Mg ratio in scleractinian corals : a new powerful proxy for ocean paleo-temperatures ?
The Li/Mg paleothermometer was here updated in a calibration including 15 species of coral from culture or various environmental context, from tropical areas to deep Antarctic waters. This work showed that this new proxy well defines the whole ocean temperature range from -1 to 29°C, with a precisio...
