Late Quaternary Environments and Climate Change in the Eastern Canadian Arctic Reconstructed from Lake Sediment Cores

该奖项是对加拿大北极东部湖泊取心计划的支持，目的是恢复过去10至15 ka的环境变化的连续记录。将研究花粉和硅藻组合，以及岩心的物理特征。将研究大型植物化石中碳和氢的稳定同位素比值以及沉积物中溶解有机碳含量的岩心下部变化。这些研究将涉及气候变化问题，包括区域冰川历史和海平面变化。

This award is for support of a lake coring program in the Eastern Canadian Arctic with the goal of recovering continuous records of environmental change for the last 10 to 15 ka. Pollen and diatom assemblages will be studied, as well as the physical characteristics of the cores. Down-core variations in the stable isotopic ratios of carbon and hydrogen in plant macrofossils and the dissolved organic carbon content of the sediments will be studied. These studies will address questions of climate change, including regional glacial history and sea-level change.
