0003790DavisThis award supports John Davis and a graduate student from the University of Kansas in a collaboration with Jan Harff of the Institute for Baltic Research in Warnemunde, Germany. The research funded by this award will focus on variations in the properties of sediments from the Baltic Sea floor as they reflect variations in climate since the beginning of the last major glacial retreat, which occurred 13,000 years ago. Recent work has demonstrated the utility of applying statistical zonation and correlation techniques to physical properties of sediment cores from the Baltic floor. The work on this proposal, which will extend the analysis of core samples through the Kattegut and Skaggerak and into the North Sea, will elucidate connections between Baltic Sea sediment properties and other paleoclimate indicators. This joint collaborative research effort also presents junior researchers with the opportunity to work internationally, and the work done on this proposal will help institutionalize the relationship between the German and U.S. research groups.

0003790Davis该奖项支持来自堪萨斯大学的John Davis和一名研究生与德国Warnemunde波罗的海研究所的Jan Harff的合作。由该奖项资助的研究将重点关注波罗的海海底沉积物性质的变化，因为它们反映了自13000年前最后一次主要冰川退缩开始以来的气候变化。最近的工作已经证明了将统计分带和相关技术应用于波罗的海海底沉积物岩心的物理性质的效用。这项提案的工作将把对岩心样本的分析扩展到卡特古特和斯卡格拉克，并延伸到北海，这将阐明波罗的海沉积物特性与其他古气候指标之间的联系。这项联合合作研究工作也为初级研究人员提供了在国际上工作的机会，这项提案所做的工作将有助于使德国和美国研究小组之间的关系制度化。
