Summary: This objective of this study is to provide estimates of long-term changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations from the Eocene through the Oligocene. The study will utilize carbon isotope measurement of alkenones and carbonate microfossils along with oxygen isotope measurements in carbonate microfossils. Measurements will be done on 6 discreet time slices representing the early, middle, and late Eocene and the early, middle and late Oligocene. Sample resolution will be approximately 250 to 500ky. In addition records will be established prior to and following distinct climatic episodes such as the Eocene/Oligocene transition and the apparent rapid deglaciation at the end of the Oligocene.

总结：本研究的目的是提供从始新世到渐新世大气中二氧化碳浓度的长期变化的估计。 该研究将利用烯酮和碳酸盐微体化石的碳同位素测量沿着碳酸盐微体化石的氧同位素测量。 将在代表始新世早期、中期和晚期以及渐新世早期、中期和晚期的6个离散时间切片上进行测量。 样品分辨率约为250至500 ky。 此外，将在始新世/渐新世过渡和渐新世末明显的快速冰川消退等不同气候事件之前和之后建立记录。
