The first part is a brief review of coral biology, density banding, and other important factors involved in understanding corals as proxies of environmental variables. The second part is a synthesis of the information available to date on extracting records of the carbon cycle and climate change.

She further showed that morphological alteration of the coral skeleton is associated with high phosphate levels in the surrounding seawater that came from agricultural fertilizers. Corals as Proxies of the Carbon Cycle and Climate Change Synthesis of the information obtained from coral proxy records is done in the second part of this paper.
