2-2 Introduction to the Research Centre for Paleoclimatology

The Research Center for Paleoclimatology at Ritsumeikan University was established in 2014 with the aim of contributing to understand the climate system and the accuracy of climate prediction through detailed reconstructions of past climate change.

 

The Fukui Research Center, which is located in the Varve Museum, conducts research to reconstruct the climate using the varved sediments of Lake Suigetsu and to further improve the accuracy of IntCal, the "global standard measure" of geological age.
