Marine Climate History
Marine climate proxies are geochemical and micropaleontological signatures derived from sediment cores, coral skeletons, and other marine archives. These proxies can be used to reconstruct paleoceanographic parameters, including sea surface and bottom water temperatures, salinity, relative sea level, precipitation patterns, oceanic productivity, and terrestrial inputs to the ocean system.
Climate and Environmental Change in the Gulf of America and Caribbean
This project documents paleoceanographic, climatic, and environmental changes in the Gulf of America and adjacent land areas over the last 10,000 years. The paleoenvironmental data is used to determine rates of change in the past, and to better understand both the natural and anthropogenic factors that contribute to climate variability on inter-annual to millennial timescales.
