Project Abstract
Arctic climate change has global implications because some of the most sensitive climate tipping points amplifying global climate change such as deep-water formation, sea ice extent, and permafrost melting are intrinsic to the Arctic region. Project SiTrAc pioneers a novel cross disciplinary approach to develop and apply indirect measures of climate (i.e., proxies) to assess past Arctic climate variability, stability, and its sensitivity to climate forcing. These will provide the critical basis to resolve existing climate debates on the stability of our climate system, which crucially we do not fully understand.
