Abstract
This study uses secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analysis of oxygen isotopes in the shells of Hawaiian intertidal limpets (*Cellana sandwicensis*) to reconstruct near-daily life-history patterns and explore tropical intertidal climatology. The research develops a method for interpreting seasonal growth patterns and longevity in limpets, providing a high-resolution proxy for tropical intertidal climate.
