The major goal of this work is to improve historical estimates of climate forcing from sulfate, a key input to PMIP simulations of the past 1000 years, and a topical issue in recent climate trends. Specifically the postdoc and technician
</span><span style="letter-spacing: normal; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: 400; color: black;">will be measuring sulfur isotopes by MC-ICP-MS in ice core samples from recent volcanic eruptions such as Pinatubo, Agung, and Katmai/Novarupta.
This will allow us to recalibrate how we scale volcanic sulfate deposition on ice sheets to a stratospheric sulfur loading for past volcanic eruptions. The project takes advantage of new ice cores and novel isotope fingerprinting to disentangle stratospheric
sulfate from other sources (as in <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2221810120" target="_blank" id="OWA4f4b5f7e-60cd-8ac5-97ef-07cf94f91dd8" class="x_OWAAutoLink" title="Original URL: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2221810120.
