- Abstract:
- We intend to recover quantitative information on the past variability of climate from the subpolar region of the North Atlantic in order to obtain a better understanding of the factors controlling oceanic circulation and the modes of variability that have existed inn the recent past. We hope to recover quantitative palaeoclimatic information about temperature and current patterns for the past 11 thousand years (the Holocene). This investigation intends to address deficiencies in our knowledge by focusing on high resolution analyses of palaeoceanographic and palaeoclimatic parameters through the early and late Holocene periods using deep-sea sediment core material collected from high accumulation rate sites that offers the possibility of reconstructing North Atlantic surface and deep hydrography on multi-decadal timescales. The climatic information we recover will inform us, not only about the way climate has varied I the past and the relative influence of the various climatic mechanisms, but also give us important clues about possible future changes.
