20112010 Summary:
Through analysis of sediment/water interface samples, freeze cores, and dendrochronology the researchers intend to:
i) develop a comprehensive climatic history along a 2° latitudinal gradient in the central NT, variously based on an analysis of freeze cores from lakes along the route of the Tibbitt to Contwoyto Winter Road (TCWR);
ii) determine the relationship between modern lake catchments an...
