Evidence for a Volcanic Cooling Signal in a 335-Year Coral Record from New Caledonia
Although volcanic cooling events have been detected in tree ring records, their occurrence in marine records has received much less attention, Herein we report results from a 335-year oxygen isotope record (1657-1992) from a New Caredonia coral indicating that as many as 16 interannual-scale cooling...
