Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v1i2.179Variation of δ13C content in coral skeletons shows the influence of metabolic fractionation in aragonite coral. Understanding coral δ13C variation can thus be useful to more understand e.g. past bleaching event which is further useful for coral health and conservation. In this study, δ13C content in Porites coral from Labuhan Bajau, Simeulue Islands was analyzed. To know the correlation between variation of coral δ13C and light intensity, the monthly variation of coral δ13C is compared to solar radiation and cloud cover. The result shows that for the period of 2003 to 2008, coral δ13C shows it is well correlated (r=0.42 p=0.153) with cloud cover variation in annual mean scale. Meanwhile, in seasonal mean variation, coral δ13C is strongly influenced (r=0.85 p<0.0001) by cloud cover with 1 - 2 month time lag. Comparing to the solar radiation (cloud cover), SST influences dominantly the variation of coral δ13C from southern Simeulue Island waters (LB sample) in an annual mean scale than in a seasonal scale.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v6i3.121Sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the important parameters for (paleo) climate studies. The long time series of SST data are required to understand more the climate change. Coral geochemical proxy such as Sr/Ca overcomes this problem. Coral can provide long time series of climate data continuously from present till hundreds years ago, even fossil (dead) coral can do it till thousand years ago. In this study, Sr/Ca content of Porites coral within 10 m deep from Labuan Bajo, Simeulue Island was analyzed to reconstruct SST. Coral Sr/Ca shows a strong correlation with local SST in seasonal scale as well as in the annual mean scale. Reconstructed SST data show that the monsoon between 1993 2007 strongly influence the SST variation in the Simeulue region. It supposed that the seasonal variation signal strongly influence local SST than the annual mean signal such as El Nino.

Abstract

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i3.161Sea surface salinity is an important parameter in a climate study. Coral δ18O records δ18O seawater and sea surface temperature (SST). While, coral Sr/Ca records SST only commonly used in a paleoclimate study to reconstruct SST. Thus, paired coral δ18O and Sr/Ca can be used to reconstruct δ18O seawater. δ18O seawater and SSS is linearly correlated, thus reconstructed δ18O seawater further is used to reconstruct sea surface salinity (SSS). Instead of using coral Sr/Ca as SST recorder, paired model (grid) or measured SST data is used to reconstruct SSS. In this study, paired coral δ18O and grid SST data are presented to reconstruct SSS from several different locations across Indonesian sea i.e Simeulue, Mentawai, Bunaken, and Bali. Coral-based SSS reconstructions from those locations are then compared to the grid SSS in the seasonal mean scale. The result shows that annual mean variation of salinity for period of 1958-2008 in Mentawai and Simeulue is 33.25 psu and 33.26 psu respectively, while in Bunaken and Bali is 34.03 psu and 33.47 psu respectively. Correlation coefficient between coral salinity and salinity from model data in the seasonal/monthly mean scale is high i.e R = 0.62 - 0.83. Based on the monthly mean data, corals in the studied area strongly record SSS variation in the monthly or seasonal mean scale. In Mentawai and Simeulue waters, SSS variation is influenced strongly by monsoon. While, in addition to the monsoon, ocean advection also affects seasonal variability of SSS in the Bunaken and Bali waters.
