The study on the paleo-environmental significance in the alive and fossil corals has became a key point in the projects of the past global change. The advance in this field including environmental information of growth rate and calcification rate in coral skeletons, high resolution ofδ18O, Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca and U/Ca paleo-thermometer, research on the fluorescent bands and high precision of TIMS uranium series dating and so on, were systematically described in the paper. That reflects the coral as an important role in reconstruction of the past records of the tropical ocean environment .
