  abstract = {{S}hallow-water tropical corals can be used to calibrate the radiocarbon timescale. {I}n this paper, we present a new data set based on the comparison between {C}-14 ages and {U}-{T}h ages measured in fossil corals collected offshore the island of {T}ahiti during the {I}ntegrated {O}ceanic {D}rilling {P}rogram ({IODP}) {E}xpedition 310. {A}fter applying strict mineralogical and geochemical screening criteria, the {T}ahiti record provides new data for 2 distinct time windows: 7 data for the interval between 29 and 37 cal kyr {BP} and 58 for the last deglaciation period, notably a higher resolution for the 14-16 cal kyr {BP} time interval. {T}here are 3 main outcomes of this study. {F}irst, it extends the previous {T}ahiti record beyond 13.9 cal kyr {BP}, the oldest {U}-{T}h age obtained on cores drilled onshore in the modern {T}ahiti barrier reef. {S}econd, it strengthens the data set of the 14-15 cal kyr {BP} period, allowing for better documentation of the {C}-14 age plateau in this time range. {T}his age plateau corresponds to a drop of the atmospheric {C}-14 synchronous with an abrupt period of sea-level rise ({M}elt {W}ater {P}ulse 1{A}, {MWP}-1{A}). {T}he {T}ahiti {C}-14 record documents complex changes in the global carbon cycle due to variations in the exchange rates between its different reservoirs. {T}hird, during the {H}einrich event 1, the {T}ahiti record disagrees with the {C}ariaco record, but is in broad agreement with other marine and continental data.},
