- motivation: "The Arctic Ocean is undergoing dramatic sea ice reduction and warming conditions. These changes affect the sealife of the region, including bottom-dwelling organisms and the marine mammals, seabirds, and fish that rely on them for food. The researchers of this project use micro-fossils from sediment cores taken in the Beaufort Sea to rebuild the climate patterns, sea ice and circulation, and ecosystems from the past 2000 years. By studying the bottom-dwelling, microscopic arthropods (called Ostracodes) and single-celled protists (called Forams), the Beaufort Sea researchers can compare the historical conditions of the Arctic and better understand the effects of recent climate change in the region.

heading1: "Why collect ocean sediment cores?",
- intro: "USGS scientists use sediment cores collected from the ocean floor to reconstruct past environmental conditions. This knowledge helps us to understand processes that influence natural climate change and lead to particular Earth system states. This allows more reliable predictions for future scenarios. See the full 2000-year timeline of microfossil composition on the <a href='/visualizations/climate-charts/#/beaufort-sea/beaufort-sea-timeline' target='_blank'>Beaufort Sea timeline</a> page.",

+ intro2: "USGS scientists collect sediment cores from the ocean floor to reconstruct past environmental conditions. This knowledge helps us to understand processes that influence natural climate.",
heading2: "How do USGS scientists collect ocean sediment core records?",
- paragraph1: "USGS scientists traveled from USGS Headquarters in Reston, Virginia to Utqiagvik, Alaska. The goal was to collect samples of 'proxies' from ocean sediment cores. Proxies provide indirect but measurable responses to ocean/climate-related conditions at the time they were living or otherwise deposited. Proxies can include biological organisms, such as microfossils, or other preserved physical or chemical properties.",
- paragraph2: "Once they arrived in Alaska, the researchers boarded the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Healy and traveled to the sampling locations along the Beaufort Sea continental shelf.",
+ paragraph1: "Collecting sediment core records from the ocean floor begins with USGS scientists traveling to their study site in Utqiagvik, Alaska. At this site, scientists used recent climatological measurements and several types of climate ‘proxies’ to reconstruct the climate history of the Beaufort Sea and to better understand recent climate change in the Arctic Ocean. Climate proxies in ocean sediment cores can include preserved physical or chemical properties or biological organisms, like algae or microorganisms with shells. These proxies serve as indicators of ocean- and climate-related conditions at the time the sediment was deposited.",
+ paragraph2: "Once they arrived in Alaska, the researchers boarded the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker <i>Healy</i> and traveled to sampling locations along the continental shelf, where the Mackenzie River flows into the Beaufort Sea.",
paragraph3: "Ocean sediments are one of the best archives of past ocean and climate change throughout Earth's history. Sediment accumulates on the seafloor over time: the sediment at the top of the core is newer than sediment at the bottom.",
paragraph4: "Researchers can use the sediment core records to build a timeline of climate conditions through the past. The timeline is verified by measuring the Cesium and Lead radioisotopes and using radiocarbon dating.",
paragraph5: "Sediment cores were collected by a weighted piston-driven coring device from a platform on the stern of the ship that retrieves the soft sediments from the bottom of the ocean.",
