| Summary: | <p>This PAGES (Past Global Changes) 2k (climate of the past 2000 years working group)
special issue of <i>Climate of the Past</i> brings together the latest understanding of
regional change and impacts from PAGES 2k groups across a range of proxies and regions.
The special issue has emerged from a need to determine the magnitude and rate of change
of regional and global climate beyond the timescales accessible within the observational
record. This knowledge also plays an important role in attribution studies and is
fundamental to understanding the mechanisms and environmental and societal impacts of
recent climate change. The scientific studies in the special issue reflect the urgent
need to better understand regional differences from a truly global view around the PAGES
themes of “Climate Variability, Modes and Mechanisms”, “Methods and Uncertainties”,
and “Proxy and Model Understanding”.</p> |
