Climate variability paper

Details
Published: Tuesday, 24 March 2020 13:59

WGLogoCVASwithTitleClimate variables are related over long times and large distances. This shows up as correlations for averages on long intervals or between distant areas. An important finding is that the majority of correlations in climate can be described by a simple mathematical relationship.

Authors, led by Christian Franzke, present such correlations for temperature on long times in their recent paper "The Structure of Climate Variability Across Scales", now available in Reviews of Geophysics.

Find out more about the CVAS working group, which is now in its second phase, and how you can be involved, here.

GPWG2 fire policy issue brief

Details
Published: Wednesday, 11 March 2020 14:24

WGLOGOGlobalPaleofirePAGES' parent organization Future Earth has published an article about the recent Global Paleofire Working Group 2 Policy Brief.

While the area burnt by wildfires has declined globally over the past decades, fire is now occurring more frequently and severely in ecosystems that have historically rarely experienced fire. This issue brief examines the cause and sustainability implications of global fires. Access the Future Earth article here.

Access the GPWG2 Policy Brief, by Daniele Colombaroli et al., here.

Paleo contents, IPCC AR6 SOD

The Second-Order Draft (SOD) of the Working Group 1 (WG1) contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) sixth assessment report (AR6) is now open for review.

To facilitate a robust review of the paleoscience information, which is integrated throughout the report, a comprehensive list of the paleoscience contents is now available here. It was assembled by Darrell Kaufman with help from members of PAGES' Early-Career Network (ECN) and students at Northern Arizona University, USA.

Community feedback is needed to focus the key messages from paleosciences and to assure that the report presents the most current, comprehensive, and balanced treatment of the policy-relevant topics.

New Varves special issue

Details
Published: Tuesday, 03 March 2020 12:53

vwg varve dist rev figSeven papers are now available in a Quaternary special issue organized by the PAGES-endorsed Varves Working Group.

Edited by Bernd Zolitschka and Wojciech Tylmann, the special issue aims to present the diversity within the field and the state-of-the-art research on lake varves at all timescales and environments.

The papers are:

> Annually Laminated Lake Sediments—Recent Progress (Tylmann W and Zolitschka B)

> Modern Analogue Approach Applied to High-Resolution Varved Sediments—A Synthesis for Lake Montcortès (Central Pyrenees) (Vegas-Vilarrubia T et al.)

> Varve Distribution Reveals Spatiotemporal Hypolimnetic Hypoxia Oscillations During the Past 200 Years in Lake Lehmilampi, Eastern Finland (Salminen S et al.)

LULC LandCover6k paper

Details
Published: Tuesday, 03 March 2020 10:35

landcov gsd paper mar 20A new paper from LandCover6k members presents the overall strategy of the working group plus the products and their current and potential uses.

Sandy Harrison et al. published "Development and testing scenarios for implementing land use and land cover changes during the Holocene in Earth system model experiments" in Geoscientific Model Development.

Anthropogenic changes in land use and land cover (LULC) during the pre-industrial Holocene could have affected regional and global climate. Existing scenarios of LULC changes during the Holocene are based on relatively simple assumptions and highly uncertain estimates of population changes through time. Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions have the potential to refine these assumptions and estimates.

LandCover6k is working towards improved reconstructions of LULC globally. In this paper, authors document the types of archaeological data that are being collated and how they will be used to improve LULC reconstructions and propose a protocol to evaluate the revised scenarios using independent pollen-based reconstructions of land cover and climate.

This paper is also a contribution to the group's special issue "Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project phase 4 (PMIP4)". Access the special issue here.
