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.

Published: Thursday, 01 April 2021 16:28

WGLogoPALSEAPAGES' PALeo constraints on SEA level rise (PALSEA) working group has been busy of late, with two new papers published today and another three in recent weeks.

Journal articles:

Yucheng Lin et al. acknowledge PALSEA in the Nature Communications paper, published today, A reconciled solution of Meltwater Pulse 1A sources using sea-level fingerprinting.

Jennifer Walker et al. acknowledge PALSEA in another recent Nature Communications paper Common Era sea-level budgets along the U.S. Atlantic coast.

Juliet Sefton and Sarah Woodroffe published Assessing the use of mangrove pollen as a quantitative sea‐level indicator on Mahé, Seychelles in Journal of Quaternary Science.

Published: Thursday, 01 April 2021 15:16

icon survey sHave you say on 2k!

Following the PAGES 2k Network Town Hall meeting held on 25 February, the group's coordinators have created a new survey.

The aim of the meeting was to seek initial feedback from the community on future directions for the network, once Phase 3 comes to an end on 31 December 2021.

Building on the meeting's outcomes, the survey is for the wider community to identify priorities for the next 5-10 years.

The deadline for responses is 30 April 2021.

Read more about the meeting and its outcomes, then take the survey.

The Earth's energy inventory

Details
Published: Wednesday, 17 March 2021 10:14

img fig paleolink mar 21A recent publication by members of the PAGES 2k Network "Missing link in the Past – Downscaling paleoclimatic Earth System Models" (PALEOLINK) project provides an update on the land heat content of continental areas around the world.

The fundamental quantity for understanding how our climate will change in the future and how sensitive the Earth's climate is to increases in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide is the change in Earth's energy content and its temporal evolution; that is, the way the Earth responds to additional atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.

Authors, led by Francisco José Cuesta-Valero, discuss why the study of land heat change is important in their Climate of the Past paper "Long-term global ground heat flux and continental heat storage from geothermal data".

PAGES–Risk KAN webinar

Details
Published: Monday, 15 March 2021 15:42

icon webinarPAGES' 5th webinar, focusing on Future Earth's Knowledge-Action Network on Extreme Events and Emergent Risks (Risk-KAN), will be held on 15 April 2021 at 8:00 UTC.

The webinar, presented by Felix Riede and Phil Riris, will discuss mutual interests, potential synergies, and an invitation to be involved.

PAGES is one of the core constituents of the global science-policy organization Future Earth. Knowledge-Action Networks (KANs) make up another cluster of defining Future Earth components.

The presenters will focus in particular on the Risk-KAN working group called past4future, which aims to make paleo perspectives on past human environment interactions, and especially on extreme events, relevant to colleagues working in the present.

2022 PAGES OSM/YSM dates

Details
Published: Monday, 15 March 2021 11:47

New dates announced!

Logo PAGES 2022 web

PAGES' 6th Open Science Meeting (OSM) and 4th Young Scientists Meeting (YSM) are tentatively set for 15-21 May 2022.

The YSM will be held from 15-17 May in Lunga Village, 30km north of Agadir.

The OSM icebreaker will be held on the evening of 17 May in Agadir, and the OSM scientific program will run from 18-21 May. Field trips begin 22 May.

We say the dates are tentative, because health and travel warnings will be reassessed in July 2021.

No deadlines have been announced yet, but you can access the program and keep up to date via the official OSM/YSM website.

The 6th OSM and 4th YSM were originally planned for May 2021, but were postponed due to COVID-19 disruptions. Read that announcement here.

PAGES looks forward to welcoming you in Agadir, Morocco, in May 2022.
