Past Global Changes Magazine vol. 27 (1)

The latest issue of Past Global Changes Magazine, titled "Paleo Constraints on Sea-Level Rise" is now available to read and download.

Guest edited by Natasha Barlow, Glenn Milne and Jeremy Shakun, this issue highlights scientific advances made over the last decade of PAGES' PALSEA working group, as well as identifies new challenges for the sea-level, ice-sheet, and broader paleo communities.

The included articles summarize our current understanding of sea-level and ice-sheet changes during past warm periods and the application of this knowledge to infer future sea-level hazard.

PALSEA QSR special issue

Details

Published: Wednesday, 10 April 2019 16:31

The PAGES PALeo constraints on SEA level rise (PALSEA) working group special issue of Quaternary Science Reviews is now complete.

The primary aim of this special issue is to use the information contained in the geological record to improve the accuracy of sea-level projections for the coming centuries to millennia.

The 12 papers focus on documenting and synthesizing data on rates, sources, and budgets of sea-level variability during Quaternary/Pliocene warm periods, including the transition into and out of such periods, and assess the ability of models to simulate these observations.

Two PAGES working groups recently published workshop reports in Eos.

Molly Patterson, Rachael Rhodes and Claire Allen reported on the Cycles of Sea Ice Dynamics in the Earth System (C-SIDE) working group meeting "Developing Data and Modeling Capacity to Understand Past Changes in Sea Ice in the Southern Ocean" held in Vancouver, Canada, in October 2018.

Access the C-SIDE workshop report "Understanding past changes in Southern Ocean sea ice" here.

Carole Adolf, Donna Hawthorne and Daniele Colombaroli reported on the Global Paleofire Working Group 2 (GPWG2) meeting "Diverse knowledge systems for fire policy and biodiversity conservation" held in Egham, UK, in September 2018.

Access the GPWG2 workshop report "Ancient fires and indigenous knowledge inform fire policies" here.
