Past climate variability at high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere - extending the Americas and Australasian palaeoclimate "Pole-Equator-Pole" (PEP) transects
Dutch title: Historische klimaatvariabiliteit op hoge breedtegraden in de Zuidelijke Hemisfeer - een uitbreiding van de "Pole-Equator-Pole" paleoklimaattransecten over Zuid-Amerika enAustralasië Period: October 2004 till September 2005 Status: Completed
This proposal aims to (1) investigate tele-connections between Late Quaternary climate changes at the high latitudes in the Southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere, (2) study the link between ice shelf loss and climate optima in Antarctica and (3) deliver high-resolution data to test and calibrate recently developed climate models. Therefore, biological proxies will be analyzed in lake-sediment cores.
