Collaborative Research: A High Resolution Study of Sea Surface Temperature Variability in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool

作为国际古海洋学项目IMAGES的一部分，要求资助对1998年在印度-太平洋暖池地区收集的深海岩心中存档的晚更新世和全新世海洋温度和水文变化进行高分辨率研究。这个项目将产生热带暖池地区气候变化的第一个记录，其分辨率足够高，可以直接与高纬度和低纬度冰芯记录进行比较。这将允许对暖池在末次冰期降温不超过2摄氏度的假设进行检验。将使用Multiproxy（主要同位素，烯酮，Mg/CA）方法来重建过去150kyr的海面温度，以及深水和中间水温。

Funding is requested to conduct a high resolution study of late Pleistocene and Holocene ocean temperature and hydrographic variability archived in deep sea cores collected in 1998 within the Indo-Pacific warm pool region as part of the international paleoceanographic project IMAGES. This project will produce the first records of climate variability in the tropical warm pool region at resolutions high enough for direct comparison with both high and low latitude ice core records. This will allow testing of the hypothesis that the warm pool did not cool more than 2 degrees C during the last glacial. A Multiproxy (staple isotope, alkenone, Mg/CA) approach will be used to reconstruct sea surface temperatures, as well as deep and intermediate water temperatures for the last 150kyr.
