Abstract
Coral cores were collected from P. Payar, Port Dickson, P. Redang and P. Tioman. The length of cores represented data spanning from year 2009-2015. Satellite sea surface temperatures from year 2009-2015 were obtained from the Reynolds and Smith dataset. Sr/Ca concentrations were measured from the coral powder taken at 1mm intervals along the vertical growth axis. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) was significantly higher during year 2010 in all four locations and linear extension was observed to have declined in year 2010 compared to year 2009 in cores from both sites. This decline coincides with the higher SST observed in year 2010 as a result of the El Niño event. Correlation analysis showed that Sr/Ca ratios in cores from all sites have a significant inverse relationship with SST. Analysis of the trace metals such as Pb, Ba, Cr and Cu produced results that were within the reported range in coral skeleton. Concentrations were significantly higher in Port Dickson and the lowest in P. Redang. These findings could be due to differences in terrestrial input at respective reef sites.
