Climate dynamics of the Australian monsoon and its re-establishment following the last glacial maximum

澳大利亚季风的气候动力学及其在末次盛冰期后的重建。全球气候系统各要素之间的动力学和联系（例如，北大西洋-南极洲-热带），特别是在大约20,000年前的末次冰盛期附近。对于80，000至10，000年前的时间段，我们建议使用卡奔塔利亚湾的湖泊沉积物制作高分辨率环境记录（每80年）和动力学模型。我们寻求信息的强度和可能消失的季风，热带大气遥相关与千年尺度的冰漂流事件在高纬度地区，和土著植被燃烧对气候的影响。如果发现这种联系，将深刻改变我们对所有热带环境及其管理的理解。

Climate dynamics of the Australian monsoon and its re-establishment following the last glacial maximum. The dynamics and linkages among elements of the global climate system (eg. North Atlantic - Antarctica- tropics) are poorly understood, particularly near the Last Glacial Maximum about 20,000 years ago. For the interval 80,000 to 10,000 years ago, we propose to produce a high-resolution environmental record(every 80 years) and dynamical model, using lacustrine sediments from the Gulf of Carpentaria. We seek information on the intensity and possible disappearance of the monsoon, tropical atmospheric teleconnections with millennial-scale ice-rafting episodes at higher latitudes, and influence of aboriginal vegetation-burning on climate. Such links, if found, would profoundly alter our understanding of all tropical environments and their management.
