Fischer receives AGU Award

Details: Published: Wednesday, 05 July 2017 10:28

Former PAGES co-chair Hubertus Fischer will receive the Willi Dansgaard Award at the AGU Fall Meeting in New Orleans in December.

The award is given in recognition of research impact, innovative interdisciplinary work, educational accomplishments (mentoring), societal impact, and other relevant contributions, plus to acknowledge that the awardee shows exceptional promise for continued leadership in paleoceanography or paleoclimatology. Dansgaard (1922-2011) is widely recognized as the father of modern-day water isotope studies, including discoveries of abrupt climate change events in the Greenland ice cores.

Fischer, who led PAGES from 2011-2016, said he was shocked and honored. "It came totally out of the blue and I feel greatly, greatly honored and humbled.

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.
