Funds are provided for the PIs to collect two bathymetric transects of sediment cores on the southern Florida margin and the western margin of the Great Bahama Bank. The PIs will also reconstruct the history of the flow for the Florida Current through the Straits since the last glacial maximum on millennial to centennial time scales through the Holocene and last deglaciation based on these and existing cores. The work will further our understanding of circulation changes in the Florida Current system and therefore the heat transport to high northern latitudes.

为私营部门提供了资金，用于收集佛罗里达南部边缘和大巴哈马浅滩西部边缘的两个沉积物岩芯测深横断面。PI还将重建佛罗里达海流流经海峡的历史，因为从千年到百年的最后一次冰川最大值跨越了全新世，并基于这些和现有的岩芯进行了最后一次冰川消融。这项工作将进一步加深我们对佛罗里达洋流系统中环流变化的理解，从而进一步了解热量向北部高纬度地区的输送。
