P2C2: Tree Ring Studies of Hydroclimatic Variability in Tropical Southern Africa

这名研究人员试图在非洲南部热带地区建立一个年轮记录的网络，以研究区域水文气候的变化。这项研究的目的是探索来自南部非洲的新的树木年轮记录网络是否可以提供独特的古代用数据，以帮助解决关于水文气候变化、其原因和影响的各种问题。主要的更广泛的影响包括从一个采样不足的地区收集可能对气候有重要见解的数据，支持一名美国研究生，并帮助与非洲科学家和学生建立牢固的科学联系。

The researcher seeks to develop a network of annually resolved, multi-century tree-ring records in tropical southern Africa in order to examine regional hydroclimatic variability. The research aims to explore whether a network of new tree-ring records from southern Africa can provide unique paleo-proxy data to help address a variety of questions about hydroclimatic variability, its causes, and impacts.The primary broader impacts involve collecting data from a poorly sampled region with potentially important insights into climate, supporting a U.S. graduate student, and helping build strong scientific ties with African scientists and students.
