Abstract

Abstract  ATM-9809230  Jacoby, Gordon C.  Columbia University  Title: Dendroclimatology of Arctic Siberia    This award supports a dendroclimatologic investigation of Arctic  Siberia.  The main objectives of this project are to extend the  environmental record in the Arctic and thus provide a better framework to evaluate climatic recent trends and variations.  The  extended record will be used in regional and hemispheric climatic  reconstructions to study effects of volcanic, solar, and trace gas  factors on climate as expressed by climate models. This project  will provide extended paleoclimatic data to a relatively unknown  region of the Arctic, where global change warming may be most  pronounced.
