The Rowan Oceanography - Paleoceanography Investigation Center (TROPIC)
The TROPIC lab uses various palaeoclimatological methods to investigate past climate and climate change. We're currently working on various projects, including: The role of insolation in forcing ENSO change during the late Pleistocene and Holocene Tropical Pacific mean state and variability during the Common Era (the last 2000 years) The relationship between Holocene tropical Atlantic variability, ENSO and the Atlantic Niño, the Green Sahara, and tropical circulation Changing modes of Pacific tropical variability from the Holocene through the Last Glacial maximum The relationship between discrete proxy measures of past sea surface temperatures, seasonality, and water column structure New applications and improving methods and understanding of individual foraminifera reconstructions of paleoclimate variability
