Lost in Translation

Here's the short introduction to my paleoclimatology paper and presentation that's coming up on Monday. Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about because I sure don't:

This paper will examine the methodology used in examining variation in the shell and tissue of marine organisms. Sources of shell and fossil tissue variation, how shell and tissue relate, and differential carbon and nitrogen signatures within and between tissue types and shells will be examined for the purpose of how these processes can illuminate paleoclimate reconstruction. A discussion of the role of tropic layers and geographic location of organisms will account for the various contributing factors.

Oh what fun it is to write about something that you have no background in whatsoever. And I'm not kidding, I really don't comprehend 90% of the stuff I'm trying to talk about in this paper. Just use big words, nice sentences, and hope for a little pity.
