A first look at monthly fluctuations of Sr/Ca in Porites sp. from The East and West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Coral cores were collected from four locations around Peninsular Malaysia and Sr/Ca ratios were measured. The interannual temperature ranges from 26.8-31.5°C. The sites chosen were Pulau Redang, Port Dickson, Pulau Tioman and Pulau Payar due to the Southeast Monsoon and Northwest Monsoon influences...
