Project Abstract
The aim of this research is to create a robust, high-resolution regional temperature record since the end of the last ice age in western Ireland. The project aligns with climate action SDGs and research strategies. There is a pressing need to address pertinent issues in the climate record which currently inform climate prediction models and subsequent mitigation policies. Findings will test methodologies, resolve issues in Irish climate literature, and offer a significant contribution to European and global climate science and policy. Biological and geochemical indicators extracted from lake sediment will be used to infer past temperature and environmental change.
