Interconnections of Past Greenhouse Climates

Lead Research Organisation: University of Southampton
Department Name: Sch of Ocean and Earth Science

Abstract

This project will study (i) the hydroclimate response in North Africa and West Asia to past changes in regional and global temperature and (ii) the associated changes in ocean circulation and oxygenation. Our starting point is to shed new light on why IPCC class models consistently fail to match geological and archaeological records by greening the Sahara in response to insolation forcing during the mid-Holocene.
