Thermal structure of the Northwest Atlantic during the last 25,000 years

This thesis uses paleoceanographic proxies to reconstruct past ocean temperatures in the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) over the last 25,000 years in order to (1) contextualize exceptional 20th Century surface and deep ocean variability, (2) better understand the causal mechanisms that drive this variabil...

Description
Summary:This thesis uses paleoceanographic proxies to reconstruct past ocean temperatures in the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) over the last 25,000 years in order to (1) contextualize exceptional 20th Century surface and deep ocean variability, (2) better understand the causal mechanisms that drive this variability, and (3) generate new constraints to help test, develop, and improve climate models.
