Under this two-year award, the University will unravel southern hemisphere westerly wind variability through the last ~150,000 years using Tasman Sea sediments. The research will provide new insights into past climate dynamics by analyzing sediment cores from the Tasman Sea region. Results from the project have the potential to improve understanding of wind and ocean circulation changes in the southern hemisphere over long timescales. The work will be performed at the University's campus in Tucson, Arizona through August 31, 2023.
