     University of Colorado  Title: A PALE Lake Sediment Calibration Network for the
     Eastern Canadian Arctic    This award supports a PALE/ARCSS effort to construct
     a high-quality  dataset for surficial lake sediment calibration in the eastern
     Canadian Arctic.  A detailed sampling and analysis program will  allow the
     development of new calibration data for fossil pollen,  isotopic and
     palelimnological proxies.  Modern numerical analysis  will be applied to
     existing lake-based fossil pollen records to  produce a new generation of
     quantitative paleoclimate estimates.   This work will result in a large
     public-domain database, and will  make a collection of surface lake sediments
     available to the  paleoclimate community for additional research.
