This project is a preliminary study on piston cores of glacially derived sediment from the Weddell Sea margin of the Antarctic Peninsula. Its goal is to determine if there are sufficient microfossils to extract paleoenvironmental information. This area saw intense glacial activity during the Cenozoic, and studies like this one will help identify the mechanisms that trigger ice sheet formation and influence global climate change. In terms of broader impacts, this award will contribute to development of a climate change museum exhibit and K-12 outreach.

该项目是一项针对南极半岛Weddell海缘冰川沉积物的活塞核心的初步研究。它的目标是确定是否有足够的微化石来提取古环境信息。该地区在新生代期间看到了强烈的冰川活性，这样的研究将有助于确定触发冰盖形成并影响全球气候变化的机制。就更广泛的影响而言，该奖项将有助于发展气候变化博物馆展览和K-12外展。
