Tree Ring Structure and Paleoclimate of High Latitude FossilFloras from Antarctica

该项目是根据女性科学家和工程师职业进步奖方案授予的。首席研究员将前往亚利桑那大学(图森)树轮研究实验室，接受可应用于化石材料的最新分析技术培训。从这一分析中获得的古气候信息将与三叠纪和二叠纪南半球高纬度地区的沉积学和植物群研究数据相关联。这项工作将有助于将主要基于物理数据的古气候模型与植物生物学和生长数据进行比较。

This project is awarded under the program: Career Advancement Awards for Women Scientists and Engineers. The Principal Investigator will travel to the Tree Ring Research Laboratory at the University of Arizona (Tucson) to be trained in the latest analysis techniques that can be applied to fossil material. The paleoclimate information that is obtained from this analysis will be correlated with data from sedimentological and floristic work high southern latitudes during the Triassic and Permian. This work will facilitate a comparison of paleoclimate models which are based primarily on physical data with data from plant biology and growth.
