ARCSS 2 kyr Project: A synthesis of the last 2000 years of climatic variability from Arctic lakes


Home

To understand the modern Arctic system, its current unprecedented change, and its future requires the long-term perspective of the natural variability that can only be gained through proxy records. Fourteen collaborative PIs will generate standardized, high-resolution (annual and decadal) proxy climate records from 30 lakes across the North American Arctic. The four-year project (2005-2008) is funded by NSF’s Arctic System Science Program.
