Sea levels, sea surface temperatures and the variability of El Niño will be determined for previous warm interglacial periods using well dated, stratigraphically controlled fossil corals preserved in uplifted reefs. Relationships between past changes in sea level and warmer ocean temperatures will provide insights into the response of sea level to global warming. Knowledge of the frequency and amplitude of El Nino events that occurred during previous interglacial warm periods will provide a better understanding of processes controlling extreme events in the climate system.

将使用保存在隆起珊瑚礁中的年代清楚、地层控制的化石珊瑚来确定以前温暖的间冰期的海平面、海面温度和厄尔尼诺现象的变化，这将为了解过去的海平面变化和温暖的海洋温度之间的关系提供见解。了解以前的间冰期温暖时期发生的厄尔尼诺事件的频率和幅度将有助于更好地了解控制气候系统中极端事件的过程。
