Host PAGES 2021 OSM & YSM

Details: Published: Monday, 28 January 2019 15:40

Held every four years, PAGES’ Open Science Meeting (OSM) and Young Scientists Meeting (YSM) provide an invaluable opportunity to bring the past global change community together from around the world to share, discuss, learn, and plan for the future.

Would you and your institution like to be an integral part of these premier events in the international paleoscience calendar? The call is now open to host the next meetings in 2021, preferably in the first half of the year.

The bidding process will take place in two stages with Expressions of Interest due 28 February 2019. PAGES' Scientific Steering Committee will then invite a shortlist of selected potential hosts to submit a full bid by early September 2019.

Learn more about our past OSMs and YSMs and watch a short summary video from the successful 2017 events, held in Spain, on PAGES' YouTube Channel.

New post on The Early Pages blog!

At the age of 47, Paul Butler decided to leave a lucrative job as an IT consultant in London and move to a quiet town in North Wales to study Ocean Sciences.

Butler describes what it is like to be a mature student and an early-career researcher (ECR) in their fifties in a post that is full of humour, honesty, and advice to ECRs of all ages.

Butler is currently the team leader for the PAGES 2k Network Phase 3 projects CLIM-ARCH-DATE and ARAMATE.

Paleo in IPCC WG1 AR6

Details: Published: Wednesday, 16 January 2019 14:02

Announcement: Input to paleoclimate content of IPCC Working Group 1 Assessment Report (AR6).

Paleoclimatology is fundamental to understanding the climate system, and is an important part of the IPCC’s assessment of climate science. Likewise, the IPCC’s assessment provides an avenue for the paleo-science community to highlight its essential role in climate science. This announcement is to inform paleoclimate scientists about a developing summary of large-scale paleoclimate indicators, and to solicit input to this product for AR6.
