Doctoral Dissertation Research: Inland Eolian Dunes in Georgia: Age, Morphology and Paleoclimatic Implications

他的博士论文研究将确定乔治亚州沙丘活动的年龄，描述沙丘的地貌和地层背景，并利用所得信息推断产生沙丘的过程和环境条件。沙丘活动的年龄将利用光激发发光（OSL）测年和加速器质谱仪（AMS）放射性碳测年的补充年龄数据来确定。结果将产生自然气候变化的记录，并说明全球气候波动对风成活动的影响。

Ivester, Andrew University of Georgia The doctoral dissertation research will determine the ages of dune activity in Georgia, describe the geomorphic and stratigraphic context of the dunes, and use the resulting information to infer the processes and environmental conditions that produced the dunes. Ages of dune activity will be determined using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating with supplementary age data from accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon dating. Results will yield a record of natural climatic variability and illustrate the effects of global climate fluctuations on eolian activity.
