2010 Summary:
Through analysis of sediment/water interface samples, freeze cores, and dendrochronology, the researchers intend to:
i) develop a comprehensive sub-decadal to centennial-scale late Holocene climatic history along a 2° latitudinal gradient in the central NT, variously based on microfossils (pollen, diatoms, thecamoebians, chironomids), sedimentologic, cyclostratigraphic, stable isotopic, ...

Summary:
The researcher will sample plants and shells containing records of the stable isotopic composition of the constituents in the environment that are used for growth. The natural abundance of the stable isotopes of carbon in atmospheric CO2 and in dissolved groundwater as well as the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in water can be related to climatic factors. Thus, these isotope ratios in shells and p...

Summary:
The Researchers will collect sediment samples. Insect fossils will be extracted and analysed. The insect communities recovered will provide an indication of the climatic conditions in the area at the time the sediments were deposited. The age of the sediments will be determined with radiocarbon or other dating methods....

Summary:
To undertake a study of past climates using vegetation surveys, pollen studies and soil sampling techniques. Findings will be correlated to the archaeological record (Dr. M. Maxwell)....

Summary:
Inspection of diggings done under license number 2019 (1976) and some limited digging on coastal islands as a continuation of the study of ancient climates, ancient Inuit land use and settlement patterns....
