This project aims to reconstruct Pliocene climate conditions by analyzing sedimentary records to understand past atmospheric CO2 impacts. It utilizes a novel proxy based on soil bacteria lipids to quantify continental temperatures and improve climate models for future predictions.
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have risen rapidly since pre-industrial times and our current climate is not yet in equilibrium with this; it will change.
To obtain insight in the type and magnitude of this change and to validate climate models used to project these changes, we need to look back at past climates.
The most recent time in Earth history with CO2 levels that were similar to today is the Pliocene.
The Pliocene thus provides a unique window into a world that exhibited many of the clima…
