Course Description
Overview
Embark on a fascinating journey into marine geology with this lecture presented by Dr. Liz Sikes from the Department of Marine & Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University. Discover the intricate process of collecting climate records from the ocean floor through coring expeditions. Learn about the challenges and rewards of going to sea, getting wet and muddy, to extract valuable data that helps scientists understand past climate patterns. Gain insights into how these marine sediment cores contribute to our knowledge of Earth's climate history and inform predictions about future climate change. This engaging talk, part of the Rutgers Geology Museum's 55th Annual Open House, offers a unique glimpse into the world of marine climate research and its significance in the broader context of climate science.
