Development of Environmental Proxies for Coastal Environments

这项拟议研究的目标是从沿海海洋微化石开发环境指标，可用于重建过去千年全球变化的高分辨率记录。沿海环境可以产生年到十年分辨率的过去气候记录。拟议的工作将为确定在一系列时间尺度上分析气候和海洋条件以及评估沿海生态系统随时间演变所需的长时间序列奠定基础。来自北卡罗来纳州帕姆利科海湾岩心的微化石和同位素数据以及活有孔虫和介形虫的数据，以及该地区的温度、盐度和溶解氧数据将用于开发环境指标。

The objective of the proposed research is to develop environmental proxies from coastal marine microfossils that can be used to reconstruct high-resolution records of global change over the past millennium. Coastal settings can yield records of past climates with annual to decadal resolution. The proposed work will provide a foundation for determining long time series that are needed to analyze climatic and oceanographic conditions on a range of time scales and to evaluate the evolution of coastal ecosystems through time. Microfossil and isotopic data from cores from Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, and living forams and ostracodes, as well as temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data from the area will be used to develop the environmental proxies.
