AbstractThe primary objective of this research is to develop a continuous tree-ring chronology spanning the past 2000-years from living and subfossil wood around Prince William Sound, southern Alaska. This chronology will provide an annually resolved record of North Pacific climate for the past two-millennia. In addition, development of the long tree-ring record will involve cross-dating of trees killed by advances of Columbia and other glaciers around Prince William Sound; interpretation of the dates of tree germination and death on these glacier forefields will enable glacier fluctuations in the region to be reconstructed with decadal precision.

摘要：这项研究的主要目的是从阿拉斯加南部威廉王子湾周围的活木材和亚化石木材中开发出跨越过去 2000 年的连续树木年轮年表。这份年表将提供过去两千年来北太平洋气候的年度解析记录。此外，长树木年轮记录的开发将涉及对因哥伦比亚和威廉王子湾周围其他冰川的推进而死亡的树木进行交叉年代测定；对这些冰川前田树木发芽和死亡日期的解释将使该地区的冰川波动能够以十年的精度重建。
