Caribbean<\/h1>\n

Recent work in the Caribbean is focusing on Cuba, where we have shown strong correlations between Sr\/Ca and SST in Siderastrea siderea<\/em> corals (Hughen et al. in prep).\u00a0 This promising work is yielding insights into whether the NAO has changed its spatial fingerprint through time (Hughen et al. in prep).\u00a0 Corals from the Mesoamerican Reef show that trace elements accurately reflect local water quality and can be used to reconstruct environmental changes linked to human land use and pollution. Barium and manganese reflect proximity to rivers and sediment runoff from coastal mountains, whereas lead and zinc record mining activity, and copper and antimony are elevated near urban harbors and shipping activity (Prouty et al., 2008). Long records of Ba\/Ca show a history of increase due to changes in land-use activity and runoff over the past 150 years (Carilli et al., 2009).<\/p>\n
