This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).With this award the PI will test four hypotheses about what drives changes in the Atlantic overturning circulation on orbital timescales over the last 3 Ma. A dataset of more than sixty benthic oxygen isotope records and more than fifty carbon isotope records will be used to reconstruct detailed patterns of circulation change and link specific circulation responses with particular forcing mechanisms. This work will contribute to the understanding of which forcings are important drivers of circulation change and how overturning changes affect regional and global climate. Funds will support a PhD student. The PI is an early career female scientist with no prior funding from NSF.

该奖项是根据2009年的《美国回收与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。在该奖项中，PI将检验四个假设，内容涉及在过去3个MA中大西洋上大西洋上推翻轨道循环的驱动变化。超过60个底栖氧同位素记录和五十多个碳同位素记录的数据集将用于重建循环变化的详细模式，并将特定的循环响应与特定的强迫机制联系起来。这项工作将有助于理解哪些强迫是循环变化的重要驱动因素以及倾覆变化如何影响区域和全球气候。资金将支持博士生。 PI是一位早期的职业女科学家，没有NSF的先前资金。
