摘要ATMP-9706921 Mayewski，Paul A.，Meeker，Loren D. 新罕布什尔州大学GISP 2记录的强迫历史意义 人们越来越认识到冰芯提供的特殊“过去之窗”。 特别是，格陵兰山顶深钻的完成为古气候学家提供了日期明确、高分辨率、多参数的记录，为末次冰期/间冰期周期的气候变化提供了前所未有的视角。 该奖项支持一个项目，重点是：（1）利用多元（例如，（2）利用GISP 2作为与其它古气候记录比较的框架;（3）发展大气环流系统的代用记录，以研究季节-年际和十年-百年尺度的变化;（四）调查和解释GISP 2记录中记录的化学物质的来源和生产率的变化，以促进我们的对地球化学循环的理解;（5）通过对全新世气候变化的详细描述（例如，（6）研究近全新世气候的类似物，包括海阶间、海阶外和海阶的转换，以进一步阐明全新世气候响应和强迫;（7）研究气候变化事件的全球阶段性;（8）研究气候的自然强迫与人为强迫，以加强对未来气候的预测;（9）根据气候变化的人的方面来解释上述情况。

Abstract ATMP-9706921 Mayewski, Paul A., and Meeker, Loren D. University of New Hampshire History of forcing Significance of GISP2 Record There is growing recognition of the special "window on the past" provided by ice cores. In particular, completion of deep drilling at Summit Greenland has presented paleoclimatologists with a well-dated, high resolution, multi-parameter record which is providing an unprecedented view of climate change over the last glacial/interglacial cycle. This award supports a project focused on: (1) developing even more robust descriptions of paleoclimate utilizing the multivariate (e.g., isotopes, particles, chemistry) GISP2 record; (2) utilizing the GISP2 as a framework for comparison with other paleoclimate records; (3) developing proxy records for atmospheric circulation systems in order to investigate seasonal-to-interannual and decadal-to centennial scale variability; (4) investigating and interpreting changes in the sources and production rates of the chemical species recorded in the GISP2 record in order to contribute to our understanding of biogeochemical cycling; (5) enhancing our understanding of the complex behavior of Holocene climate through the detailing of Holocene climate change (e.g., changes in atmospheric circulation, aridity, biological activity) and forcing; (6) investigating analogs for near-Holocene climate including interstadials, Eem and transitions into and out of stadials to further elucidate Holocene climate response and forcing; (7) investigating global phasing of climate change events; (8) investigating natural versus anthropogenic forcing of climate to enhance prediction of future climate and; (9) interpreting the preceding in light of the human dimensions of climatic change.
