In the context of coral reefs, "quaternary" typically refers to the Quaternary Period, which is the most recent geological time frame, spanning the last 2.6 million years. During this period, coral reefs have experienced significant changes due to fluctuations in sea level, climate, and ocean chemistry. The Quaternary has seen the development and evolution of modern coral species, as well as the impacts of glacial and interglacial cycles on reef ecosystems. Understanding these changes helps scientists assess current reef health and predict future responses to ongoing environmental challenges.
