摘要

The Svalbard Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, initiated in 2003, provides a unique, field-based research experience for US undergraduates in Arctic Quaternary geology and climate change. The Svalbard archipelago, between 74° and 81°N latitude in the North Atlantic, lies at the northern end of the warm Gulf Stream current and therefore is sensitive to subtle climate and oceanographic changes. Svalbard has warmed considerably during the last 90 years, and climate proxies indicate even greater Holocene climate variability. Our program has two main purposes: to train young scientists in cutting-edge, Arctic field research methods, and to reconstruct climate changes of the past 5,000 years from layered sediments in lakes and fjords. Our students are conducting fieldwork at two locations: Lake Linne, west of Longyearbyen, and Kongsfjorden, near Ny Alesund. To better understand the links among climate, glacier mass balance, sediment transport, and lake and fjord sedimentation, we are monitoring modern sedimentation processes with arrays of sediment traps, temperature sensors, water level recorders, conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profilers, and bathymetric surveys. Students recover sediment cores from lakes and fjords and correlate parameters such as layer thicknesses to recent and historical meteorological observations. Ultimately, we seek to derive relationships from modern processes that will allow the sediment records to be better interpreted as proxies for late Holocene climate changes.
