Western Pacific corals reveal Common Era changes in ENSO-diversity, thermal stress, and volcanic cooling

How El Niño–Southern Oscillation variability and diversity have changed over the Common Era, and how corals have responded to ENSO-induced temperature anomalies, remains unclear. Here, Porites microatolls from Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands, in the western Pacific were analyzed across three periods: 484–560 ± 6 CE (Late...
