Prentice0087930This award supports a planning visit to Papua New Guinea to initiate collaboration with researchers at the Department of Geology at the University of Papua New Guinea. The purpose of this collaboration is to plan and conduct research on the paleoclimate records from lake sediments in the region. Funding includes follow-up analyses of core samples in hand, and reconnaissance and preliminary coring of new lakes.The scientific problem to be addressed is the sensitivity of the tropical pacific climate system to the forcing of the Last Glacial Maximum and the deglaciation 18,000 to 10,000 years ago. This is of interest in trying to understand climate variability, and particularly the role of the tropical Pacific.

Prentice0087930该奖项支持计划访问巴布亚新几内亚，以启动与巴布亚新几内亚大学地质系研究人员的合作。 这项合作的目的是计划和进行该地区湖泊沉积物的古气候记录研究。 研究经费包括对现有的岩芯样本进行后续分析，以及对新湖泊进行勘察和初步取芯，所要解决的科学问题是热带太平洋气候系统对末次冰盛期和18，000至10，000年前的冰川消退的敏感性。 这对理解气候变化，特别是热带太平洋的作用很有意义。
