Quantification of past climates using speleothem material from Morocco and Chile

由于温室气体水平的空前上升，我们的环境系统正在发生重大变化。为了更好地了解未来的气候预测，我们需要更好地了解其潜在机制。这可以通过深入研究我们过去的气候和调查不同背景状态和时间尺度下的自然气候变化来实现。为此，我们需要环境档案。我计划把重点放在洞穴档案上，由于它们的高保存率、增长率和高度准确的年表，它们对于重建过去的陆地和大气变化特别有效（Henderson, 2006）。

Our environmental systems are undergoing significant change in the present day because of unprecedented rises in greenhouse gas levels. To better understand future climate projections, we need to better understand the underlying mechanisms. This can be achieved by delving into our past climates and investigating natural climate variability under different background states and timescales. For this, we require environmental archives. I plan to focus on speleothem archives which are a particularly effective for reconstructing past terrestrial and atmospheric changes due to their high preservation, growth rates and highly accurate chronology (Henderson, 2006).
