Welcome to PAGES

The PAGES (Past Global Changes) project is an international effort to coordinate and promote past global change research. The primary objective is to improve our understanding of past changes in the Earth system in order to improve projections of future climate and environment, and inform strategies for sustainability. ... more

PAGES, a registered association for scientific research and networking, is open and inclusive to all scientists interested in past global changes. Science within PAGES is conducted by working groups, which are open to all paleoscientists working on the topic. Get involved by contacting the working group leaders, signing up to mailing lists, and attending teleconferences and/or workshops.

PAGES is funded by the Swiss Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and supported in-kind by the University of Bern, Switzerland. For administrative purposes, it is part of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR). PAGES is a Global Research Project of Future Earth, a scientific partner of WCRP, and a partner of WDS-Paleo.

GPWG2 fire policy brief

Details
Published: Monday, 09 December 2019 18:19

gpwg2 fire12019 has been an exceptional year for highly devastating, catastrophic fires. The destructive Amazon rainforest and Australian fires have received worldwide media attention, raising debates about the causes and consequences of future wildfires in a warmer world.

Members of the PAGES Global Paleofire Working Group 2 (GPWG2), together with another 30 international colleagues, recently released a Policy Brief discussing how the integration of traditional ecological knowledge and long-term ecology could better support the evidence base for future decisions on fire policy and biodiversity conservation.

This Policy Brief results from a previous PAGES workshop hosted by the Geography Department at Royal Holloway University of London, UK, and supported by PAGES, the Quaternary Research Association (QRA), and CNRS/Université de Franche-Comté. The workshop attracted 30 international participants from 15 countries to discuss ongoing challenges on biodiversity conservation and fire policy at a global scale.

The Global Paleofire Working Group is a network of researchers promoting data collection and analyses of sedimentary charcoal records from around the world.

CAS now supporting PAGES

Details
Published: Wednesday, 04 December 2019 10:28

CAS logoPAGES is very pleased to announce the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has joined the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) as an official supporter of PAGES' activities.

CAS Vice-President Zhang Yaping and PAGES Executive Director Marie-France Loutre recently ratified the cooperation agreement, which is valid for a minimum of eight years. CAS is classified as a special member of PAGES.

Professor Zhang hailed the agreement as "a solid step towards more proactive engagement of CAS with the international science community on tackling issues of global importance."

"I am delighted that CAS is in a position to join forces, together with the Swiss Academy of Sciences, to support PAGES," said Professor Zhang, a molecular evolutionary biologist and an expert on conservation genetics.

"The scientific activities of PAGES are focused on deepening our understanding of the past climate and environmental changes on a global scale. Obviously, such endeavors require close collaboration among scientists around the world, and we see PAGES as an excellent international and interdisciplinary platform that will continue to facilitate such efforts."

Dr Loutre said Chinese researchers have always been actively engaged in PAGES since it was formed in 1991. "The CAS-PAGES agreement is going a step further," she said. "I am therefore very excited about the new opportunities that such a collaboration will raise."
