CLIVAR/PAGES Working Group: Call for Members

The CLIVAR/PAGES intersection is looking for nominations from scientists across the CLIVAR and PAGES communities who are interested in fostering cross-cutting initiatives that involve the use of paleo-climate data in extending and contextualising modern observations, using CLIVAR-related insights and understanding to inform the interpretation of past climate data, and/or helping link modelling of past, present and future.

Members will serve a maximum of 4 years, and will be expected to attend or participate (by Skype) in one meeting a year (usually coincident with other large community gatherings).

The principle foci of the Panel are highlighted in the Vision document (rewritten in 2009).

Activities in the near future involve organising workshops on areas where PAGES and CLIVAR communities can usefully intersect, updating the Vision document, and making stronger efforts to serve as a nexus for cross-cutting activities.

Interested people should contact Catherine Beswick with a brief description of their interests and background by 31st January 2012.
