Funding is provided to examine the interaction of climate variability, fire, and ecosystems. The specific objectives of this project are to gain a better understanding of: (1) fire and vegetation history in South America that is influenced by summer monsoons and ENSO variability at the core region of westerlies; (2) interactions among fire activity and vegetation change on multiple time scales; and (3) past climate change and climate variability as represented by paleo-fire reconstructions and paleoclimate model simulations.The research holds the promise of providing data and a broader understanding of environmental change and its relation to climate. The project will support international scientific partnerships and training opportunities, create education experiences for graduate and undergraduate students in the U.S. and abroad, and expand the recently created international database of paleo-fire records, which serves the needs of the scientific community, as well as natural resource managers and policy makers.

提供资金来检查气候变化，火灾和生态系统的相互作用。 该项目的具体目标是更好地了解：（1）南美的火与植被历史受夏季季风和西风核心地区的ENSO变异性影响； （2）在多个时间尺度上发生火灾活动和植被之间的相互作用； （3）过去的气候变化和气候变异性以古解火的重建和古气候模型仿真表示。该研究具有提供数据和对环境变化及其与气候关系的更广泛理解的希望。该项目将支持国际科学伙伴关系和培训机会，为美国和国外的研究生和本科生创造教育经验，并扩大最近创建的西方古气记录数据库，该数据库满足了科学界的需求，以及自然资源经理和制造商。
