Improving Climate Records Through a Mechanistic Understanding of Sub-Micron Heterogeneity in Environmental Materials

Lead Institution

University of Washington

Principal Investigator

Alexander Gagnon

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

From the pace of the ice ages to how the carbon cycle has changed through time, much of what we know about earth history and climate dynamics is based on proxies. Recorded as trace element anomalies…
