Session Description
The PAGES2k project, now in Phase 5, aims to advance a comprehensive understanding of hydroclimate variability throughout the Common Era, during last ~2000 years, ranging seasonal to multi-centennial timescales spanning over local to global scales. This emphasizes the development of mechanistic insights into hydroclimatic changes by integrating a diverse range of proxy records, including tree rings, speleothems, terrestrial and lake sediments, glacier and ground ice, historical documentations, as well as corals and marine sediments. Assessing hydroclimatic variability during the Common Era contributes to reducing uncertainties in the interpretation of observations preserved in paleoclimatic archives. Moreover, it aims to identify and evaluate the level of agreement between proxy-based hydroclimate reconstructions and climate model simulations, thereby improving our understanding of past climate dynamics and enhancing future climate projections.
