Welcome to PAGES

The PAGES (Past Global Changes) project is an international effort to coordinate and promote past global change research. The primary objective is to improve our understanding of past changes in the Earth system in order to improve projections of future climate and environment, and inform strategies for sustainability. ... more

PAGES, a registered association for scientific research and networking, is open and inclusive to all scientists interested in past global changes. Science within PAGES is conducted by working groups, which are open to all paleoscientists working on the topic. Get involved by contacting the working group leaders, signing up to mailing lists, and attending teleconferences and/or workshops.

PAGES is funded by the Swiss Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Sciences, and supported in-kind by the University of Bern, Switzerland. For administrative purposes, it is part of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR). PAGES is a Global Research Project of Future Earth, a scientific partner of WCRP, and a partner of WDS-Paleo.

Missing ice and the LGM

Published: Thursday, 25 February 2021 15:34

img fig palsea nat comms feb 21 webScientists involved with PAGES' PALSEA working group may have discovered the cause of "missing ice" during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

In the recent Nature Communications paper "A new global ice sheet reconstruction for the past 80 000 years", authors, led by Evan Gowan, present a global ice-sheet reconstruction, called PaleoMIST 1.0, created independently of far-field sea-level and δ18O proxy records.

CRIAS climate history exhibition

img crias exhibit metzger webPAGES' Climate Reconstruction and Impacts from the Archives of Societies (CRIAS) working group proudly presents a new online art exhibition focusing on climate history.

Contemporary and historical climate change is beyond the scale of human perception. Meteorological extremes, such as droughts and floods, have generally left only indirect evidence in the material heritage of past societies. But scholars can combine instrumental data, proxy information, and written sources to reconstruct these patterns.

PAGES survey - last days!

icon surveyHave your say by 14 February!

PAGES has prepared a survey (Google doc) to collect suggestions from the paleoscience community regarding PAGES' activities in the coming years.

It consists of three sections – About you, PAGES' priorities, and what PAGES can do for you – and should take about 10 minutes to complete.

The survey is anonymous, and the results will be presented in the upcoming 30th anniversary issue of Past Global Changes Magazine.

We look forward to receiving your feedback and thank you in advance for taking the survey.

icon applyssc s PAGES is calling for applications from scientists to serve on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) from January 2022.

The deadline for consideration is Friday 2 April.

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.
