Title
High-resolution Boron and beyond Geologic reconstructions for carbon and climate processes
General information
Impact of CO2 on climate and ice sheets through time
The interplay between climate and CO2 is complex, especially amidst multiple environmental changes. Atmospheric CO2 influences climate over both human and geological timescales, yet key uncertainties remain. For instance, how the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) responds to varying CO2 levels, particularly its melting and growth dynamics, is crucial for future sea level rise projections. To clarify these uncertainties, the ERC-funded HighBorG project will examine CO2-climate interactions during three critical geologic periods: 52-46 Ma (warmer Earth with high CO2), 39-23 Ma (establishment of the AIS), and 17-13 Ma (cooler Earth with dynamic AIS). By developing advanced purification and analysis techniques and integrating marine records with modelling approaches, HighBorG sheds light on past and future climate states.
