Deep-sea coral ocean-climate records of the last glacial and recent eras

该项目旨在预测海洋二氧化碳汇的长期容量以及全球变暖和二氧化碳增加的未来轨迹。该项目将使用编码在珀斯峡谷、塔斯曼海和南极洲深海珊瑚骨架中的地球化学代用指标，以揭示我们最近的过去（数百至数千年）和末次冰期最大期的连续长期环境变化记录。预计这些记录将提供更准确的了解地球对人为二氧化碳排放和全球变暖的长期反应。

The project aims to predict the ocean carbon dioxide sink’s long-term capacity and future trajectories of global warming and increasing carbon dioxide. This project will use geochemical proxies encoded in the skeletons of deep-sea corals in the Perth Canyon, Tasman seas, and Antarctica, in the heart of the ocean-climate system, to reveal continuous long-term records of environmental change at annual-decadal resolution for our recent past (hundreds to thousands of years) and the Last Glacial Maximum. These records are expected to provide a more accurate understanding of Earth’s long-term responses to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and global warming.
