Peatland responses to centennial and millennial-scale changes in North Pacific hydroclimate- Miriam Jones Active

By National Science Foundation/USGS Internship Opportunities November 27, 2018

This study will examine centennial- to millennial-scale North Pacific hydroclimate variability over the late-glacial and Holocene from Alaskan peatlands using cellulose extraction from peatland plants. Hydroclimate analysis will be coupled with vegetation and carbon dynamics to better understand how peatlands respond to long-term climate variability.
