The Dynamics of Natural Climatic Change
Abstract
Results of research conducted by ARPA/Brown scientists from 14 August, 1973 to 15 June, 1974 are discussed. Topics covered include: (1) organization of a transfer function conference sponsored by ARPA and CLIMAP; (2) identification of methods to improve paleoclimatic estimates derived from transfer functions; (3) improved coverage of modern pollen data from eastern and central North America; (4) development of a new uplift model for reef terrace sequences; (5) mapping pollen data at 1000 year time-intervals during the Holocene; (6) identification of high-deposition rate cores in the Mediterranean and off Cape Hatteras; (7) significant phase differences occurring in the response times of various parts of the air-sea-ice system during a glacial- interglacial cycle; and (8) completion of the first experiment to test numerical climatic models against synoptic paleoclimatic data.
