We use glacial and lacustrine records to study climate change in the Arctic. We
employ standard paleolimnologic techniques to understand paleoenvironmental
change during warm interglacial intervals (e.g., last century, early Holocene, last
interglacial, earlier interglacials). In particular, chironomids allows us to quantify
past temperature magnitude and variability. We also study ice sheet processes and
the history of glaciation to understand arctic climate change during glacial
intervals. We use cosmogenic radionuclides to understand basal ice sheet
processes and to date glacial features. |
