Climate Change in Mongolia and its Role in Global Environmental Change

摘要ATM-9631750，戈登C。 哥伦比亚大学，拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站题目：蒙古的气候变化及其在全球环境变化中的作用 该奖项支持蒙古的古气候研究。 这是一个遥远的国家，直到最近才被西方科学家所接近，并且有迄今为止的古气候信息。 森林，特别是山区的森林，基本上没有受到干扰。 从活树和亚化石材料的样本的年轮分析可能产生千年长度的时间序列与年度和季节分辨率。 从高海拔和低海拔干旱地区采集样本，树木年轮分析将产生时间序列，分别重建温度和降水。 这些重建将是来自世界上最大的大陆区域中部附近的重要长期气候信息。 由此产生的气候重建和评价将对这一重要地区的气候历史作出重大贡献，以评估蒙古的气候变化。

Abstract ATM-9631750 Jacoby, Gordon C. Columbia University, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Title; Climate Change in Mongolia and its Role in Global Environmental Change This awards supports a paleoclimatic study in Mongolia. This is a remote nation which has only recently become accessible to western scientists, and from which there is paleoclimate information to date. Forests, particularly in montane regions, are largely undisturbed. Tree-ring analysis of samples from living trees and subfossil material is likely to produce time series of millennial length with annual and seasonal resolution. With samples from high -elevations and lower-elevation dry sites; tree-ring analysis will yield time series to reconstruct both temperature and precipitation respectively. These reconstructions will be important long-term climatic information from near the central portion of the world's largest continental region. The resulting climatic reconstructions and evaluations will make strong contribution to climate history of this important region to evaluations of climate change in Mongolia.
