DESCRIPTION: The project will investigate the behavior of the southwestern Greenland Ice Sheet during the warmer-than-present middle Holocene using models to reconstruct the past.
OUTCOMES: The in situ 14C laboratory has been managed, funding from NSF has been received, fieldwork in Greenland and Baffin Island has been done, and there is a manuscript in preparation.
