PAGES 2k Network Data Managers Nick McKay and Julien Emile-Geay have been working on a new framework for the archival and use of paleodata.
They have prepared a white paper on data standards and formats, and are asking for the community's feedback.
Call for proposals on climate predictability and inter-regional linkages.
This call from the 2015 International Opportunities Fund aims to support medium-size research projects of 3-4 years duration, and recommends a budget of between € 1-3 million. Pre-proposals due 1 June 2015.
Propose a new PAGES Working Group by the 12th of June to address a scientific question in an internationally coordinated way.
PAGES' Varves Working Group (VWG) has published a comprehensive review of annually laminated (varved) lake sediments in Quaternary Science Reviews.
The paper showcases varve-based sedimentary research and documents unprecedented potential for environmental and climate reconstructions. The formation, composition, and sedimentary environments of varves, as well as techniques to study varves and proxy data on a calendar-year timescale are discussed in detail.
Recognizing the convergence in their scientific interests and activities and the potential for substantial mutual collaboration, PAGES and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) have formed a scientific partnership aimed at strengthening ties between the two organizations at several levels.
The Belmont Forum has announced a call for pre-proposals under its "Mountains as Sentinels of Change" collaborative research action.
A total of approximately €8 million is available for collaborative research projects. Pre-proposals are due 1 June 2015.
