Climate: Past, Present & Future

Lena Thöle

My name is Lena Thöle and I am a research data consultant at the Utrecht University Library, advising researchers on FAIR data principles, best data management practices, coding and programming to advance data sharing and reuse. At the same time, I am a passionate paleoclimatologist and paleoceanographer, with a particular focus on the Southern Ocean and its pivotal role in modulating CO2 drawdown and outgassing. Currently, I am working on a proxy data compilation for the Southern Ocean to comprehensively analyze and unravel the intricate dynamics and interactions that have unfolded over the Last Glacial Cycle.

About

Welcome to the blog of the Climate: Past, Present and Future (CL) Division of the European Geosciences Union (EGU). The CL division covers all aspects of the ocean-climate-atmospheric systems, encompassing multiple, overlapping and complementary disciplines. We focus on the reconstruction of past climatic changes, the state of the current climate, and model predictions of future climate scenarios.

Through this blog, we aim to share a wide range of topics in climate science, not only with fellow scientists, but also with anyone interested in learning more about the climate system and its changes. This blog is run with great enthusiasm by our Editors-in-Chief. Everybody is warmly invited to contribute to the blog and submit posts to either Shalenys Bedoya-Valestt, Ceren Moral or Bianca Biess.
