Our Research
Members of G&G's Climate and Paleoceanography group at WHOI use natural archives, sediment cores, corals, glacial ice and state-of-the-art analytical tools to understand climate-linked changes in the circulation, biology, and chemistry of the oceans. We investigate ocean / land / atmosphere / cryosphere interactions on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales, and reconstruct the timing, magnitude, and causes of past changes in these interactions, and their links to global climate. We also investigate ongoing and future climate change due to rising greenhouse gases.
