Collaborative Research: Late Holocene Climate Archives Preserved in Archaeological Shells

该奖项旨在利用氧同位素数据重建过去2000年来佛罗里达西南部沿海地区的水温和盐度，这些数据来自于考古沉积物中保存的陈旧的文石软体动物贝壳和鱼类耳石。这项研究采用了一种新的方法，从生物、同位素和考古档案中重建工业化前的低纬气候。该项目将支持新的相对研究人员和他们的研究生参与佛罗里达自然历史博物馆的强有力的外联工作。

This award aims to reconstruct water temperatures and salinity in the coastal SW Florida region during the past 2,000 years using oxygen isotope data generated from dated aragonitic mollusk shells and fish otoliths preserved in archaeological deposits. The research employs a novel approach to reconstruct pre-industrial, low-latitude climate from biotic, isotopic, and archaeological archives. The project will support new relatively investigators and their graduate students in a strong outreach effort involving the Florida Museum of Natural History.
