Glacial-Interglacial Variations of Sea Surface Temperature and Ocean Circulation at Hawaii

小行星9712763 本项目将在夏威夷奥陶洛斯斜坡上200-3500 m水深采集一套重力和大直径活塞岩心。将分析浮游有孔虫和底栖有孔虫的稳定同位素和分类组成，以估计表层和深层水团过去的温度和营养物含量。由此产生的数据将确定从末次冰期到现在的区域海表温度和深层水生产的变化。

9712763 Slowey This project will collect a set of gravity and large- diameter piston cores on the slope of Oahu, Hawaii in water depths from 200-3500 m. Stable isotopes and taxonomic composition of planktic and benthic foraminifera will be analyzed in order to estimate past temperature and nutrient content of surface and deep water masses. Resultant data will determine changes in regional sea surface temperature and deep water production from the last glacial interval to the present.
