P2C2: Tropical-Subtropical Teleconnections During a Warmer Climate: 5-7 ka BP

根据理论上的遥相关，提供资金用于调查亚热带佛罗里达和热带伯利兹气候带从现在到现在5000-7000年间区域影响的强度和程度的变化。具体地说，研究人员将使用从该地区洞穴中收集的氧和碳的稳定同位素记录来评估从降水、气温和植被的变化中辨别出的气候变化。这项研究将支持研究生教育、国际合作，并为更广泛的社区带来来自热带地区的额外气候数据。

Funding is provided to investigate changes in the intensity and degree of regional influence, in response to theorized teleconnections, in the climatic zones of subtropical Florida and tropical Belize from 5,000-7,000 years before present. Specifically, the researchers will use stable isotopic records of oxygen and carbon collected from speleothems in the region to assess changes in climate discerned from changes in precipitation, air temperature, and vegetation. The research will support graduate education, international collaboration, and bring to the broader community additional data on climate from the tropics.
