Coral Skeletal Proxy Records Database for the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Latitude and longitude inferred for reef from 'Reefs and shoals – Queensland' geodatabase.

SrCa maxima & minima matched with fortnightly averaged Reyn-Smith OISST v2 minima & maxima

Slice section containing the tissue layer was pre-treated with 10% hydrogen peroxide for 24 hr and subsequently ultrasonically rinsed and oven dried. Ledge sampled continuously every 0.3-0.5 mm using a 2 mm drill bit.
