Determining Patterns Of Abrupt Climate Change During The Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (Lgit) In The Southern Hemisphere, Marcus J. Vandergoes, Ann Dieffenbacher-Krall
Determining Patterns Of Abrupt Climate Change During The Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (Lgit) In The Southern Hemisphere, Marcus J. Vandergoes, Ann Dieffenbacher-Krall
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This proposal will fund the development of a continuous, isotopically-dated paleochironomid and pollen record of deglacial climate fluctuations from lake sediments located in climatically sensitive sites along the Southern Alps, New Zealand. Detailed investigations will be carried out for the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition (LGIT) at Boundary Stream Tarn, Quagmire Tarn, and Kettlehole Bog to establish the sequence of deglacial climate events and to facilitate comparisons with other well-dated northern and southern records.
The primary scientific objectives of the project are to determine: 1) the pattern and magnitude of past climate change; 2) whether changes recorded show an in-phase or out-of-phase …
Physical Properties Of The Us Itase Firn And Ice Cores From South Pole To Taylor Dome, Debra A. Meese, Ian Baker
Physical Properties Of The Us Itase Firn And Ice Cores From South Pole To Taylor Dome, Debra A. Meese, Ian Baker
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This award supports a project for physical properties research on snow pits and firn/ice cores with specific objectives that include stratigraphic analysis including determination of accumulation rates, annual layers, depth hoar, ice and wind crusts and rates of grain growth with depth. Studies of firn densification rates and how these parameters relate to the meteorology and climatology over the last 200 years of snow accumulation in Antarctica will also be investigated. The project will also determine the seasonality of accumulation by co-registration of stratigraphy and chemistry and determination of chemical species at the grain boundaries, how these may change with …

U.S.-Globec: Nep Phase Iiib-Cgoa: A Synthesis Of Climate-Forced Variability On Mesoscale Structure In The Cgoa With Direct Comparisons To The Ccs, Andrew C. Thomas
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
A variety of extreme climate events occurred during the period of US GLOBEC monitoring and process studies in the NEP (1997-2004). These provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine a range of climate variability experienced by the coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA). By relating these climate events to regional physical and biological observations, using multiple and diverse data sources (GLOBEC observations, historical data sets and reanalyses, satellites, models), we can determine how these events affect mesoscale ocean variability in the CGOA and its related target populations (the primary goal of the NEP program). We can then directly compare these responses to …
