This project uses funds, under the auspices of the EArly Concept Grant For Exploratory Research (EAGER) award concept, to assist in the development of a new biogeographic tool that uses pollen as a geo-locational marker for the probable origin of a suite of pollen in a sample. Such a tool would allow pollen analysts to generate paleoclimate data in a far easier and more consistent way than ever before and allow for expansion of basic research in pollen and climate analysis thereby enabling accurate, reproducible, and precise ecological and geographical information regarding the provenance of a pollen sample.The researcher aims to build a complete and advanced palynological database, called POLCLIM for pollen-climate, for Neotropical and subtropical pollen. The database would be publically available and enable the identification of important pollen taxa in a comprehensive geo-relational database of pollen types, distributional metadata, and probabilities of co-occurrence.

该项目在早期概念赠款的主持下，使用资金来探索性研究（急切）奖概念，以协助开发一种新的生物地理工具，该工具将花粉用作样本中一套花粉的可能起源的地理位置标记。这种工具将使花粉分析人员比以往任何时候都更容易，更一致地生成古气候数据，并允许在花粉和气候分析中扩展基础研究，从而实现有关花粉样本的准确，可重复和精确的生态和地理学信息。亚热带花粉。该数据库将公开可用，并在全面的花粉类型，分布元数据和共发生的概率的全面地理关系数据库中识别重要的花粉分类单元。
