Organizing ALBICORE Workshop: Milankovitch Forcing of Climate and Oceans in the Greenhouse State (100 MA BP)

资金将用于支持一个国际讲习班， 组织一个国际方案（ALBICORE）， 年气候-海洋对轨道强迫反应的全球模式 白垩纪中期的温室（约1亿年BP）。 我们在意大利阿尔比亚的工作揭示了沉积和 古生物学振荡，其周期对应于 轨道的变化。 这些不同类型的反应， 在其他中生代地层序列中也有记录，但仍 孤立的案例。 温室气候对轨道强迫有反应， 但应用于更好地了解气候， 地质年代学要求我们对地球上的 在给定时间内的响应。 ALBICORE旨在促进国际上在这方面的工作， 时间片-Ticinella praeticinensis的Albian亚带。 研讨会旨在（1）通过展示具有 （二）公司章程规定的其他事项; 展示多学科技术（沉积学， 古生物学、地球化学和地球物理学）， 制定并认为有用，并讨论替代办法， （三）制定整体的程序计划， 包括（a）一组战术行动小组， 岩心钻探及其分析，（B）咨询委员会 这将有助于提供技术咨询， 寻找实验室设施，以及（c）一个STEPLEMENTS委员会， 将协调全球的努力。

Funds will support an international workshop devoted to the organization of an international program (ALBICORE) to investigate global patterns of climatic-oceanic response to orbital forcing in the Mid-Cretaceous greenhouse (ca. 100 million years BP). Our work in the Italian Albian has revealed sedimentary and paleontological oscillations with periods corresponding to those of the orbital variations. Such responses of different sorts have been recorded in other Mesozoic stratigraphic sequences, but remain isolated cases. Greenhouse climates responded to orbital forcing, but application to a better understanding of Climates and Geochronology calls for developing a global picture of the responses for a given time. ALBICORE is designed to foment international work on such a time-slice - the Albian sub-zone of Ticinella praeticinensis. The workshop seeks (1) to generate interest by showing what has been accomplished, and the promise of extending such work; (2) to demonstrate the multidisciplinary techniques (sedimentological, paleontological, geochemical and geophysical) that we have developed and found useful, and to discuss alternatives and improvements; and (3) to develop an overall plan of procedure, including (a) a set of tactical ACTION GROUPS that would undertake the drilling of cores and their analysis, (b) ADVISORY COMMITTEES that would serve to advise on techniques and would be helpful in finding laboratory facilities, and (c) a STEERING COMMITTEE that would coordinate the global effort.
