New post on The Early Pages blog!

At the age of 47, Paul Butler decided to leave a lucrative job as an IT consultant in London and move to a quiet town in North Wales to study Ocean Sciences.

Butler describes what it is like to be a mature student and an early-career researcher (ECR) in their fifties in a post that is full of humour, honesty, and advice to ECRs of all ages.

Butler is currently the team leader for the PAGES 2k Network Phase 3 projects CLIM-ARCH-DATE and ARAMATE.

PAGES is calling for applications from scientists to serve on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) from January 2020.

The deadline for consideration is Thursday 14 February 2019 at 17:00 UTC.

The SSC is the body responsible for overseeing PAGES' activities. New members are sought to fill the places of outgoing members (see the SSC Member History List).

Scientists who serve on the SSC normally do so for a period of three years, with the potential of renewing for an additional three-year term. Read more for details on what's involved in being an SSC member and how to apply.

Likewise, the IPCC’s assessment provides an avenue for the paleo-science community to highlight its essential role in climate science. This announcement is to inform paleoclimate scientists about a developing summary of large-scale paleoclimate indicators, and to solicit input to this product for AR6.
