Collaborative Research: Large-Scale Dynamics of the Last Glacial Maximum Tropical Indo-Pac — NSF Award to Woods Hole Oceanographic
The state of the ocean and atmosphere in the tropics have a strong influence on global weather and climate. This project will explore how the winds over the ocean control the locations of warm and cold waters at the surface of the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans. The team will measure the chemical make-up of shells

| Abstract | The state of the ocean and atmosphere in the tropics have a strong influence on global weather and climate. This project will explore how the winds over the ocean control the locations of warm and cold waters at the surface of the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans. The team will measure the chemical make-up of shells from once floating foraminifera that have accumulated on the sea floor. These data will be used to reconstruct the thickness of the warm water layer in the ocean in the past. The t |
