This award will help expand the temporal and spatial coverage of climate-sensitive tree-ring chronologies in the Gulf of Mexico region. These proxy climate records will be used with existing data to define decadal drought and wetness regimes over North America and examine its connections with climatic events and systems such as the El Nino Northern Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and the North American Monsoon System.Paleoclimate data from Mexico will be examined for decadal climate variability. Tree-ring chronologies will be examined to reconstruct climate and climate related variables such as streamflow and crop yields. These records will be examined to assess the impact of climate extremes on past and current human cultures in the research area.This research will greatly expand the coverage of climate-sensitive tree-ring chronologies in the Gulf of Mexico region that will help document the existence and extent of many ancient forest remnants. The research will provide science experience and training for undergraduate and graduate students in the United States and Latin America and encourage research partnerships across national borders.

该奖项将有助于扩大墨西哥湾地区气候敏感树木年轮年表的时间和空间覆盖范围。这些代理气候记录将与现有数据一起用于定义北美的十年干旱和湿润状况，并检查其与厄尔尼诺北方涛动、太平洋十年涛动和北美季风系统等气候事件和系统的联系。古气候来自墨西哥的数据将被检查十年间的气候变化。将检查树木年轮年表以重建气候和气候相关变量，例如水流和农作物产量。这些记录将被检查，以评估极端气候对研究区域过去和现在人类文化的影响。这项研究将极大地扩大墨西哥湾地区气候敏感树木年轮年表的覆盖范围，这将有助于记录极端气候的存在许多古老森林遗迹的范围和范围。该研究将为美国和拉丁美洲的本科生和研究生提供科学经验和培训，并鼓励跨国界的研究伙伴关系。
