This award is to support research that will develop an aquaculture-based calibration of the M. edulis paleothermometer. A secondary goal is the application of the calibrated paleothermometer to fossil M. edulis shells from coastal Maine.The research team will design and develop aquaculture-based techniques for monitoring M. edulis growth in controlled water conditions. They will then document vital effects due to different age/environmental conditions as well as those arising from different locations (Maine/Greenland). Finally age/location-specific transfer functions will be generated for temperate and polar regions. The broader impacts of this proposed research are that it will lead to a better understanding of an important paleothermometer. Ultimately, better paleotemperature estimates lead to a better understanding of the climate system and our ability to hindcast different climate states and forecast future climate change scenarios.

这个奖项是为了支持研究，将开发一个基于水产养殖校准的M。edulis古温度计 第二个目标是将校准的古温度计应用于化石M。研究小组将设计和开发基于水产养殖的技术，用于监测缅因州沿海的美味可口的贝壳。edulis生长在受控的水分条件下。 然后，他们将记录由于不同年龄/环境条件以及不同地点（缅因州/格陵兰岛）产生的重要影响。 最后，年龄/位置特定的传递函数将产生温带和极地地区。 这项拟议研究的更广泛影响是，它将导致更好地了解一个重要的古温度计。 最终，更好的古温度估计导致更好地了解气候系统，以及我们对不同气候状态和预测未来气候变化情景的能力。
