The CoralHydro2k database: a global, actively curated compilation of coral δ18O and Sr ∕ Ca proxy records of tropical ocean hydrology and temperature for the Common Era

CoralHydro2k is a contribution to Phases 3 and 4 of the PAGES 2k network. We would like to thank PAGES IPO for providing logistical, technical, and financial support for community-driven projects such as CoralHydro2k. More specifically, we would like to extend our gratitude to Sarah Eggleston, Belen Martrat, Angela Wade, and the PAGES2k coordinators for helping facilitate various aspects of this project over the last 4 years. Most importantly, we would like to thank the original data generators of each coral-based proxy record for making their data publicly available via the World Data Center PANGAEA, the NOAA NCEI World Data Service for Paleoclimatology, or other means, without whom this effort would not be possible.

We would like to thank all the researchers whose publicly archived data were included in the CoralHydro2k database (Appendix A). We would also like to thank the following researchers who provided data that were not previously archived or that were archived in places other than NOAA or PANGAEA and are now included in CoralHydro2k and NOAA: Tianran Chen, Wenfeng Deng, Juan P. D'Olivo, Heitor Evangelista, Jennifer A. Flannery, Eberhard Gischler, Nathalie F. Goodkin, Y. Kawakubo, K. Halimeda Kilbourne, Braddock K. Linsley, Christopher R. Maupin, Hussein R. Sayani, Sujata A. Murty, David Storz, Takaaki K. Watanabe, Henry C. Wu, Hangfang Xiao.
