Short summary
We studied uranium isotopes in a 237-year-old coral from Cuba to understand how freshwater influences the ocean. The coral’s mostly stable uranium values vary with regional rainfall. During the late 1700s, variability increased sharply, revealing stronger distant river uranium input or changes in local terrestrial uranium sources. These findings show that corals Uranium ratios record past climate and ocean changes with high precision.
