Abstract

This dataset contains tissue thickness measurements for Jarvis Island coral cores from 2010-2015. Coral tissue thickness, measured as the vertical distance between the top of the core to the most recently accreted dissepiment, was measured on a slice of skeleton cut from the top of each core using a Nikon SMZ1500 stereomicroscope and SPOT imaging software.

These data were published in Barkley et al., 2018 (Figure3).
