The goal of the project is to investigate 10Be, 14C and 36Cl data in tree rings, lake sediments and ice cores in the context of elevated levels that we expect in connection to large solar storms in the past.
Detailed 10Be measurements in lake sediments and 10Be & 36Cl measurements in ice cores will be part of the project. In addition, advanced statistical methods will be employed for identifying such events in the past. These studies will also allow us to improve the time scales of the climate records from natural archives and, therefore, to improve the quality of climate studies back in time.
