Why are we climate scientists? For us, there is a number of reasons: we feel a strong bond to nature, we like to solve puzzles and we want to understand the mechanisms of what we see every day. And – even if it only manifests at the end of a causal chain – we want …[Read More]

Palaeoclimate Data Syntheses: Opportunities and Challenges
Reconstructing past climate states from geological records is crucial for understanding the causal mechanisms that originated them. These can occur at time-scales which are much longer than the periods for which humans have been measuring climate variables such as temperature in meteorological stations. Such climate reconstructions provide a long-term context to the magnitude of the …[Read More]
