Terms of Reference
  1. Use the new insights gained from contemporary ocean biogeochemical studies to identify or refine our understanding of key oceanic processes and develop or improve proxies for these processes for subsequent use in paleoceanographic studies.

  2. Refine established proxies, provide mechanistic understanding and foster the development of new proxies within integrated multidisciplinary process studies in the modern ocean.

  3. Use proxy evidence from the sedimentary records to test hypotheses of the oceanic response to climate change.
