8 (1): A Joint Newsletter of the Past Global Changes Project (PAGES) and the Climate Variability and Predictability Project (CLIVAR)
The interaction between IGBP-PAGES and WCRP-CLIVAR is driven by the overlapping interests of the past climate reconstruction and future climate prediction research communities. Following on from the initial success of the first PAGES/CLIVAR Intersection meeting (PAGES Report, 1996), and the CLIVAR international meeting (WCRP Report 108), a series of PAGES/CLIVAR workshops, open meetings and short courses were held. One was a workshop in Venice, Italy from Nov. 8–12, 1999, which concentrated on the theme “Climate of the Last Millennium.” Many of the results and recommendations which grew out of this meeting are collected here in this newsletter.
