FUNDING-NSF
- Paleo Perspectives on Climate Change (P2C2); October 20,
2017
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
goal of research funded under the interdisciplinary P2C2 solicitation is to
utilize key geological, chemical, atmospheric (gas in ice cores), and
biological records of climate system variability to provide insights into the
mechanisms and rate of change that characterized Earth's past climate
variability, the sensitivity of Earth's climate system to changes in forcing,
and the response of key components of the Earth system to these changes. Important scientific objectives of P2C2
are to: 1) provide comprehensive paleoclimate data sets that can serve as model
test data sets analogous to instrumental observations; and 2) enable
transformative syntheses of paleoclimate data and modeling outcomes to
understand the response of the longer-term and higher magnitude variability of
the climate system that is observed in the geological and cryospheric records.
