Siple Coast Ice-Stream Response to Atmospheric CO2 Variation

该奖项是为了支持一个为期一年的资助延长 先前授予MacAyeal博士（DPP-8914398）的（相同标题）， 完成一个研究议程，由于 新的建模技术，并期待新的深冰取芯 在南极洲西部的项目。 目前，该项目已 取得了一些成功， 达到预测南极西部冰层的总体目标 床单对全球变暖的反应 这项工作将有助于预测 冰芯属性，如年代学、包合物水平 稳定性、同位素和热地层学等 参数，这将是有用的解释冰芯 在南极洲西部获得。

This award is for support of a one-year funded extension of a previous grant (of the same title) to Dr. MacAyeal (DPP-8914398) to complete a research agenda that has grown in scope as a result of new modeling techniques, and in anticipation of new deep ice coring projects in West Antarctica. The current project has already achieved a number of successes in ways which are important toward reaching the overall goal of predicting the West Antarctic ice sheet's response to global warming. This work will help to predict ice core attributes such as chronology, levels of clathrate stability, isotopic and thermal stratigraphy, among other parameters, which will be useful in the interpretation of ice cores to be obtained in West Antarctica.
