This project uses funds, under the auspices of the EArly Concept Grant For Exploratory Research (EAGER) award concept, to assist in the development of a new biogeographic tool that uses pollen as a geo-locational marker for the probable origin of a suite of pollen in a sample. Such a tool would allow pollen analysts to generate paleoclimate data in a far easier and more consistent way than ever before and allow for expansion of basic research in pollen and climate analysis thereby enabling accurate, reproducible, and precise ecological and geographical information regarding the provenance of a pollen sample.The researcher aims to build a complete and advanced palynological database, called POLCLIM for pollen-climate, for Neotropical and subtropical pollen. The database would be publically available and enable the identification of important pollen taxa in a comprehensive geo-relational database of pollen types, distributional metadata, and probabilities of co-occurrence.

该项目利用EArly探索性研究概念补助金（EAGER）资助的资金，协助开发一种新的植物地理学工具，该工具使用花粉作为样本中一套花粉可能起源的地理位置标记。这样的工具将使花粉分析人员能够以比以往更容易和更一致的方式生成古气候数据，并允许扩大花粉和气候分析的基础研究，从而实现关于花粉样品来源的准确，可重复和精确的生态和地理信息。研究人员旨在建立一个完整和先进的孢粉学数据库，称为花粉气候的POLCLIM，新热带区和亚热带区的花粉。该数据库将可供检索，并能够在花粉类型、分布元数据和同现概率的综合地理关系数据库中确定重要的花粉分类群。
