“…Comparable age discrepancies are present in the logs for boreholes on Mauritius and Réunion, where misfit ages occur within two sequences interpreted as in situ growth frame, but also in the Ryukyu Islands (Webster et al 1998), the Seychelles (Braithwaite et al 2000), and north Queensland (Hayne and Chappell, 2001). The key factor here is the potential for an alternation of periods in which either coral growth has dominated, or reef rubble and sand are generated.…”

“…Kikai Island consists of several uplifted terraces of Quaternary coral reefs that have experienced a high uplift rate of 1.8 m/kyr over the past 120 kyr BP (Ota and Omura 1992). The modern coral reef of Kikai Island is not well developed and has been growing without a reef crest or moat on the outer side of Holocene Terrace IV, which is estimated to have uplifted most recently after 2600 cal BP (U/ Th age) (Webster et al 1998).…”

ABSTRACT.A coral radiocarbon (∆ 14 C) investigation with a high time-resolution is crucial for reconstructing secular and seasonal ∆ 14 C changes in the surface seawater which potentially reflect ocean circulations and dynamic ocean-atmosphere interactions. The ∆ 14 C values of a modern coral (Porites sp.) from Kikai Island, southern Japan, in the subtropical northwestern Pacific, were determined for the period of 1991−1998 at a monthly resolution. A coral ∆ 14 C time series for the 8 yr indicated seasonal cycles superimposed on a secular decreasing trend of 3.8‰ per yr. The seasonal amplitude of the coral ∆ 14 C was about 18‰ on the average, and the minimum ∆ 14 C was observed in late spring and summer. The ∆ 14 C changes were tentatively explained by horizontal oceanic advections around Kikai Island or over the wide range of the equatorial and subequatorial Pacific.

Abstract:Coral bleaching was described in Kikai-jima (Kikai Island) in October, 1998. Mortality of coral species belonging to the families Acroporidae and Pocilloporidae was the highest of all scleractinian corals in this island. In contrast, some species of the genera Psammocora and Pavona were never or seldom damaged.These results were similar to those observed in the other Indo-Pacific regions.Significant differences in mortality among families could be attributed to the their geological ranges. The species that were free from appreciable damages by bleaching belong to the families which first appeared in the geological periods when the climate was globally warm (greenhouse periods).
