Paleo- climatic, paleo- environmental and, paleo- geographic data are required by scientists and policy-makers in developing or using realistic scenarios for assessing potential future impacts caused by climate change. As well, scientists developing numerical models of past climate change (ice sheet evolution, hydrology, crustal motion and paleo-biome shifts) require paleo-data for verification and development of these models. Outputs from this project will provide paleo-scenarios for evaluating the potential response of specific regions or environments to climatic change and will help to constrain or validate simulations of past climatic changes.

Activities

• National Paleo-environmental Records of Climate Change
• Regional Scale High-Resolution Reconstructions of Paleo-Climatic Variability
• Critical Process Thresholds from Past Climate Changes
