Full Description
This exam addresses the use of proxy data from both terrestrial and marine environments in understanding paleoclimatic conditions. Attention is given to the analytical techniques utilized to interpret proxy observations.
Proxy data series are indispensable for reconstructing past climates, offering insights into historical climate changes. Their significance lies in informing both theoretical frameworks and practical applications in studying climate dynamics.
Students will demonstrate their verbal understanding of various proxy sources, such as tree rings, sediment cores, and stoichiometric balances, as well as their relevance to climate interpretation.
Candidates are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the methods of data collection and analysis, which directly influences climate model calibration and predictions.
