Sažetak
ARAMACC(Annually-Resolved Archives of MArine Climate Change) is a multi partner Marie Curie Initial Training Network consisting of six Full Participants, three Associated Partners and one Visiting Researcher. ARAMACC will provide three years of training to ten Early Stage Researchers, and two years of employment to an Experienced Researcher whose remit will be to network between the research and commercial sectors. ARAMACC science will be based around four work packages, which will address (1) the construction of a network of shell-based chronologies for the climatically important NE Atlantic region ; (2) the use of data from these and other existing chronologies in numerical climate models ; (3) the environmental drivers of shell growth ; and (4) novel applications of the shell material, including the production of baseline environmental data for commercial and regulatory organizations. ARAMACC training will be delivered at seven network-wide training events, to include five generic skills modules and seven sclerochronology-specific scientific skills modules (including cruises to NW Scotland and the Faroe Islands which will combine sample collection with training in techniques associated with seagoing research. Here we present an overview of ARAMACC, concentrating particularly on 1) the potential of this project for the advancement of the science of sclerochronology ; 2) the opportunities it will provide to our best students ; and 3) the emphasis it gives to the use of sclerochronology in the commercial and regulatory sectors.
