Former initiatives and working groups
PAGES working groups and initiatives have a natural lifespan that usually involves creating an active community, holding workshops and producing a key product. Many initiatives and groups evolve into new groups with either a broader or narrower focus or merge with other groups.
Former PAGES working groups and initiatives include:
> ADOM (Atmospheric Dust during the last glacial cycle: Observations and Modeling)
> BIPOMAC (Bipolar Climate Machinery) (website no longer available)
> DAPS - Paleoclimate Reanalyses, Data Assimilation and Proxy System modeling
> DICE - Dust Impact on Climate and Environment
> EcoRe3 - Resistance, Recovery and Resilience in Long-term Ecological Systems
> Glacial Ocean Atlas (Glacial deep ocean circulation)
> Global Paleofire Working Group 2 (GPWG2)
> GloSS - Global Soil and Sediment transfers in the Anthropocene
> HITE (Human Impacts on Terrestrial Ecosystems)
> IMAGES (The International Marine Past Global Change Study)
> LIMPACS (Human Impacts on Lake Ecosystems)
