Holocene climate and ecological impacts of the East Atlantic pattern (EA) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) interplay in southwestern Atlantic Europe.

O principal parceiro é o Instituto de Ciencias de la Tierra Jaume Almera (ICTJA) que pertence ao CSIC

The objective of the project is to characterize the spatial and temporal evolution, as well as their relationships, of the large-scale climate patterns that rule the climate variability of the Iberian Peninsula and the Azores Archipelago, with special regard on the Eastern Atlantic (EA) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) climate patterns, and their consequent impact on the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems using a multiproxy approach applied to six lacustrine sediment records for the last 2,000 years. To achieve this obejctive, the project is subdivided in two subprojects: one centered on the climate reconstructions from inorganic proxies (physical properties, lithofacies, chemical and mineralogical composition) from the sediments, whereas the second subproject is foccused on characterizing the response of the lacustrine biota (molecular and isotopic organic matter composition, biogenic silica, pigments, diatoms, pollen, plan macrofossils, cladocerans, and chironomids) to climate and non-climate changes.
