Project Details
Description
This project explores the timing and abruptness of climate and environmental changes on the peat and sediment sequence of Munsley Bog, Isle of Wight, by producing a detailed radiocarbon chronology for this sequence, which will be tested by tephrochronological studies.
Key findings
The Munsley Bog sequence cover the time interval between ~12,000 and 7,000 years before today and records several cooling events within this time interval. An ongoing PhD project investigates those changes in more detail.
