Short summary
We generated high resolution geochemical records from well-preserved fossil corals of the penultimate glacial (~150 000 years ago) and last glacial (~30 000 years ago) periods drilled at Tahiti in the central tropical South Pacific. The fossil records revealed that the glacial mean seawater temperature was 3–4 °C lower and had greater seasonality than present. Our coral-based reconstructions document oceanographic and hydroclimatological changes in glacial periods extremely different from today.
