The researchers will use the geochemical signature of shells from the European Limpet, Patella vulgata, collected from archaeological sites along the Scottish coast, to reconstruct surface seawater temperature (SST) seasonality during the mid-to-late Holocene. The specific goal of the project is to test hypotheses related to shifts in winter/summer seasonality during the Sub-boreal to Sub-Atlantic transition and the Medieval-Climate Anomaly to Little-Ice-Age transition.The broader impacts include support of graduate students and strong international collaboration. Furthermore, research methods and results will be broadly disseminated through exhibits and lectures at the North Carolina Museum of Natural History, and the Orkney and Mull Museums in Scotland. Finally, software developed through the project will be made freely available to the international scientific community.

研究人员将利用从苏格兰海岸沿着考古遗址收集的欧洲帽贝（Patella vulgata）贝壳的地球化学特征，重建全新世中后期的表层海水温度（SST）季节性。 该项目的具体目标是检验与亚北方向亚大西洋过渡和中世纪气候异常向小冰期过渡期间冬/夏季节性变化有关的假设，更广泛的影响包括研究生的支持和强有力的国际合作。 此外，研究方法和结果将通过在北卡罗来纳州自然历史博物馆和苏格兰奥克尼和穆尔博物馆举办展览和讲座而广泛传播。最后，通过该项目开发的软件将免费提供给国际科学界。
