Special Lecture – Laura Robinson

Atlantic to Pacific – deep sea coral insights into the deglaciation
In this talk I will discuss advances and challenges in usingdeep-sea corals as well-dated archives of past ocean behaviour. U-seriesdating allows comparisons of the Atlantic, Pacific and Southern Oceans onthe same timescales, whilst new developments continue to improve thereliability of geochemical proxies. I will bring together these approaches toexamine changes in carbon and temperature of the deep ocean during thedeglaciation.
