Summary
Abstract: The effect of European settlement on water quality in the Great
Barrier Reef of Australia is a long-standing and controversial
issue. Erosion and sediment transport in river catchments in this
region have increased substantially since European settlement, but the
magnitude of these changes remains uncertain. Here we report analyses
of Ba/Ca ratios in long-lived Porites coral from Havannah Reef - a
