Накратко на български

Температурите в миналото се изследват чрез анализ на групирани изотопи в карбонати. Това помага да се разбере как климатът реагира на парниковите газове.

A clumped isotope laboratory for the Netherlands

Analysis of the geologic record shows that Earth’s climate changed often, suddenly, and jumped swiftly, sometimes into extreme states, many times in its history. The exact nature of these climate changes is unknown. What can we learn from past changes about modern climate change? Such questions are investigated in the field of paleoclimatology. The backbone of paleoclimatology is the reconstruction and accurate quantification of key climate parameters in the past. In this context, the goal of the ClumpLab project is to better constrain past temperatures through the application of a new and powerful paleo-thermometer: clumped isotopes in carbonates. The ClumpLab project brought the first carbonate clumped isotope facility to the Netherlands. The method was established at the Utrecht University, in one of the world’s best labs in the field of paleoclimate research. State of the art techniques and latest developments in the field were implemented to refine the clumped isotope method in order to reduce necessary sample volumes and improve accuracy. The technique was then applied on climate archives to produce novel temperature records for the past warm climate periods. The results help to improve our understanding of the climate’s sensitivity to greenhouse gas forcing.

Цел на проекта

Analysis of the geologic record shows that Earth’s climate changed often, suddenly, and jumped swiftly, sometimes into extreme states, many times in its history. What is the exact nature of these climate changes? What can we learn from past changes about modern climate change? Such questions are investigated in the field of paleoclimatology. The backbone of paleoclimatology is the reconstruction and accurate quantification of key climate parameters in the past. In this context, the goal of ClumpLab is to better constrain past temperatures through the application of a new and powerful paleo-thermometer: clumped isotopes in carbonates. Currently, Europe as a whole is underrepresented in the clumped isotope research community. ClumpLab will bring the first clumped isotope facility in in the Netherlands. The method will be established at the Utrecht University, in one of the world’s best labs in the field of paleoclimate research. State of the art techniques and latest developments in the field will be implemented to refine the clumped isotope method in order to reduce necessary sample volumes and improve accuracy. The technique will then be applied on climate archives to produce novel temperature records for the Early Eocene greenhouse climate period. The results will help to improve our understanding of the climate’s sensitivity to greenhouse gas forcing.
