You’re probably familiar with how growth rings in trees capture the passage of time on land, but what catalogs the history of our oceans? 🌊

Marine scientists like Neda Mobasher, a doctoral student in @fsueoas and @fsu_coralpaleolab, examine the growth bands within coral skeletons to reconstruct thousands of years of climate history.

To learn more about how Mobasher's work supports accurate natural disaster forecasting and climate projections, especially in relation to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, tap 'Spectrum Magazine' at the #linkinbio.
