Paleoclimatology
Instructor:
Cuffey, Ingram
Description:
Earth's
climatic changes have been substantial throughout geologic history, and these
changes constitute fascinating natural experiments that reveal much about the
earth's climate systems and their capacity for change. In this course we will
review important methods for past climate reconstruction and also current
knowledge of past climate changes throughout earth's history, with an
emphasis on those of the Quaternary. Methods to be explored include analyses
of physical, geochemical, and paleontologic characteristics of marine
sediments, coral reefs, coastal sediments, lake sediments, tree rings, and
ice cores.
