- Abstract:
- We will combine expertise in Quaternary dating and Bayesian analysis to develop novel statistical methods for age-depth relationships and the interpolation, comparison and combination of proxy signals in long records of environmental change. Using Bayesian hierarchical and state-space models fitted via MCMC we aim to produce analyses that incorporate all relevant data and fully account for uncertainties in timescales and proxy signals. Our approach will develop current research into age-depth modelling by Millard using off-the-shelf software, and enhance the possibilities for developing realistic models by adding the expertise of Brooks in the analysis of complex statistical models via novel custom designed computational approaches.
