The European Geosciences Union has announced that PAGES SSC member, Sherilyn Fritz, will receive the 2014 Hans Oeschger Medal in recognition of her outstanding contribution in reconstructing and understanding past periods of drought in North America, past hydrological changes in tropical and mid-latitude regions from lake sediments, and for her thorough approach to deciphering natural climate impact from human-induced landscape changes.
Sheri will give a lecture and accept the award at the upcoming EGU General Assembly 2014 in Vienna from 27 Apr - 2 May.
A recent Climate of the Past paper by Gavin Schmidt et al. uses the CMIP5 & PMIP3 model outputs from both past and future simulations to explore the connections between model skill and model predictions, and has the potential to greatly improve assessments of future climate change.
GEOTRACES, an international programme aiming to increase understanding of biogeochemical cycles and the large-scale distribution of trace elements and their isotopes in the marine environment, will release its first public data product at the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii on the 25th February 2014.
This intermediate data product will feature a public on-line database and a set of visual components (on-line interactive maps and 3D animations of GEOTRACES sections).
