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 is open and inclusive to all scientists interested in past global changes. In February 2017, PAGES' parent organization Future Earth published a statement affirming its commitment to supporting international collaboration and the free movement of scientists and flow of data, information and knowledge for global sustainability. PAGES fully supports the Future Earth statement.

PAGES is funded by the US National Science Foundation and the Swiss Academy of Sciences. It is a core project of Future Earth and a scientific partner of WCRP.

First OC3 paper published

Details: Published: Tuesday, 06 June 2017 10:23

The first paper by PAGES' Ocean Circulation and Carbon Cycling (OC3) working group has been published in Paleoceanography, an AGU Journal exploring Earth's paleoclimate.

The carbon isotope composition (δ¹³C) of seawater provides valuable insight on ocean circulation, air-sea exchange, the biological pump, and the global carbon cycle and is reflected by the δ¹³C of foraminifera tests.
