Millenial-Scale Climatic Oscillations in New Zealand During the Last Glacial Cycle; PEP III Transect

标题：末次冰旋回期间新西兰千年尺度的气候振荡：来自格陵兰冰芯和北大西洋沉积物的PEP III样带古气候记录表明，北大西洋盆地的冰川气候被频繁而剧烈的气候突变（Dansgaard-Oeschger和Henrich事件）所打断。由于这些事件最初似乎受到区域限制，大多数解释都援引了区域强迫机制。但是，如果这些事件被证明是全球范围的，就会出现完全不同的观点。SGER奖支持对新西兰南阿尔卑斯山大量冰川沉积物的冰川和植被古气候记录的调查研究，这将确立该记录的古气候潜力，有助于我们理解半球间气候联系和末次冰期循环的强迫机制。

Abstract ATM-9700633 Denton, George H. University of Maine Title: Millennial-Scale Climatic Oscillations in New Zealand During the Last Glacial Cycle: PEP III Transect Paleoclimate records from Greenland ice cores and North Atlantic sediments indicate that the glacial climate over the North Atlantic basin was punctuated with large and frequent abrupt climatic changes (Dansgaard-Oeschger and Henrich events). Because the events first appeared to have been regionally restricted, most explanations have invoked regional forcing mechanisms. But quite a different perspective would emerge if these events were shown to be of this global-scale. SGER award supports a reconnaissance study of the glacial and vegetative paleoclimate record of the massive morainal deposits of the Southern Alps of New Zealand This will establish the paleoclimate potential of this record to contribute to our understanding of interhemispheric climatic linkages and forcing mechanisms for the last glacial cycle.
