Global Mercury Observation System (GMOS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop a coordinated global observation system for mercury able to provide temporal and spatial distributions of mercury concentrations in ambient air and precipitation over land and over surface waters at different altitudes and latitudes around the world. This will then provide high quality data for the validation and application of regional and g ...

Developing a 4000-year East African fire history from the Kilimanjaro ice core (PaleoFire)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

Tropical savanna fires currently comprise approximately two thirds of the global fire budget, making these fires a dominant factor in global carbon emissions, yet little is known how fires have varied through time. This project aims to create a fire history of the East African savanna region over the past 4000 years through the direct determination of levoglucosan in the Kilimanjaro ice core (3º04 ...

Talos Dome ice core Climate-related variability of Iron, CO2 and Carbon isotopes in the Southern Ocean (TDICOSO)

Start date: Nov 2, 2007, End date: Nov 1, 2009,

Polar ice cores are a sensitive archive of climate change, offering a record of past atmospheric conditions and allowing an accurate assessment of the impact of contemporary climate variations. Climate data for the past 800,000 years has come from deep ice cores drilled in central Antarctica, but shorter records from coastal Antarctica are of considerable interest because of the importance of the ...
