Precise constraints on the timing and nature of late Quaternary glacial-interglacial climatic transitions in the Southwest Pacific region. An accurate understanding of major climatic transitions during the recent geological past is critical to efforts to understand global climate. This project seeks to investigate precisely when the most recent ice ages began and ended in the Southwest Pacific region relative to other regions of the world, by examining chemical and isotopic records contained in New Zealand cave deposits. Using state-of-the-art analytical technology, precisely dated records of glacier activity and environmental change will be produced.

西南太平洋地区晚第四纪冰川-间冰期气候转变的时间和性质的精确限制。准确了解近代地质历史期间的主要气候转变对于了解全球气候至关重要。该项目旨在通过检查新西兰洞穴沉积物中所含的化学和同位素记录，精确调查西南太平洋地区相对于世界其他地区最近一次冰河时代的开始和结束时间。利用最先进的分析技术，将制作冰川活动和环境变化的精确日期记录。
