CVAS 2nd workshop: Understanding and modeling space-time Holocene climate variability

Venue

Wissenschaftspark Albert Einstein
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research

Understanding natural climate variability is a necessary prerequisite for predicting the range of plausible future climates. The Holocene is a reasonable reference period with conditions similar to the present, a large amount of existing paleo-observations and relatively well-constrained boundary conditions and climate forcings.

Logo CVAS

To foster a first comprehensive synthesis of Holocene climate variability, the workshop will provide products generated in three subgroups:

1. Selecting the best archives to quantify climate variability and understanding their caveats: Data
2. From paleo-observations to robust and reproducible variability estimates: Analysis tools
3. Origins and interpretation of the space-time structure of Holocene variability: Models and Theory
