Coral oxygen isotope records of interdecadal climate variations in the South Pacific Convergence Zone region

METHOD: ICP-MS, Inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry? From Pangaea metadata, not described in paper.

The age model for the record is based on the seasonal banding pattern, as seen in the X-radiographs, and the annual cycles in the skeletal geochemistry. To be consistent with earlier work [Kuhnert et al., 2002], we used the cyclicity in d18O (which is not further discussed) rather than that in Sr/Ca (the resulting age models are almost identical). The heaviest value in each annual cycle was assigned to March, which is the coldest month on average; i.e., the chronology uses one tie point per year. Ages for the other sampling points were interpolated according to their positions along the sampling profile. An equidistant (monthly) time series was interpolated from the original Sr/Ca data and was used as the base for further calculations.

This is a Sr/Ca paper, the d18O data is not reported in the paper so is it "peer reviewed" but just used for time assignment.  The data is on the Pangaea web site but not NOAA.
