Förderkennzeichen: DFG SFB 806
Laufzeit: 01.01.2009 - 31.12.2009
Forschungszweck: Grundlagenforschung

I propose to use stalagmites from karst caves in Ukraine (Crimean Peninsula) and Eastern Romania (Dobrogea Mountains) for precise and accurately dated palaeoclimatic reconstruction in the Black Sea region since MIS 3. The main objective is to obtain a reliable chronology of climate change on the basis of detailed U-Th dating, using an isochron approach to accurately correct for detrital 230Th contamination. This technique will be made available for other projects of the Collaborative Research Center (CRC). The scientific focus is on the reconstruction of rapid climate change across globally recognised events with stable C and O isotope ratios and trace elements. These proxies usually reflect temperature, moisture supply and carbon cycling in the soil. Potential causality between environmental change and human evolution and the spread of agriculture will be investigated in close collaboration with projects B1 and F1.
