The Second-Order Draft (SOD) of the Working Group 1 (WG1) contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth assessment report (AR6) is now open for review.
To facilitate a robust review of the paleoscience information, which is integrated throughout the report, a comprehensive list of the paleoscience contents is now available here. It was assembled by Darrell Kaufman with help from members of PAGES' Early-Career Network (ECN) and students at Northern Arizona University, USA.
Community feedback is needed to focus the key messages from paleosciences and to assure that the report presents the most current, comprehensive, and balanced treatment of the policy-relevant topics.
Input is also needed to identify the major paleoclimate/environment proxy and climate forcing datasets that inform the assessment of the state of knowledge. These resources are cataloged in Annex II, which is devoted to paleoclimate data. It is organized by multiple paleo reference periods that represent different climate states and that are the focus of paleoclimate modeling.
All review comments and authors’ responses are made available publicly. Reviewers are recognized for their input, with their name and affiliation included in the Annex of Reviewers in the published WG1 report in April 2021.
To review the report, register with the IPCC by 29 May (here) and submit by 5 June 2020 (here).
For more information, contact Darrell Kaufman, PAGES SSC member and AR6 author.
