The PAGES-endorsed Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project 3 (PMIP3) has recently published its workshop report titled "Comparing Structurally Different Climate Models in a Paleoenvironmental Context" in Eos. The workshop was held in 5-10 Dec 2010 in Kyoto, Japan.
The Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) is inviting proposals under two separate programmes, the Annual Regional Call for Research Proposals (ARCP) Programme and the Scientific Capacity Building/Enhancement for Sustainable Development in Developing Countries (CAPaBLE) Programme, for funding from April 2012.
The deadline for applying for PAGES meeting support is 5 March 2012.
PAGES offers meeting support for three categories of workshops that are relevant to PAGES Foci and Cross Cutting Themes:
1. PAGES Working Group Meetings: For workshops organized by PAGES Working Groups.
2. Educational Meetings: For workshops that have a strong educational component.
3. Open Call Meetings: For all other workshops within the scope of PAGES Science.

PAGES invites nominations of scientists to serve on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC), which is responsible for overseeing PAGES activities. Scientists who serve on the SSC normally do so for a period of 3 years, with the potential for renewal for an additional term.
Up to 3 new members are sought to join in 2013. Deadline for sending in nominations is 5 March 2012.
The International Young Scientists Meeting: Land-Ocean-Atmosphere interactions in the Changing World (September 5 - 10, 2011, Spit, Russia) is organized and co-sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russian Foundation for Basic Research, International Geosphere-Biosphere Program and PAGES.
The aim of the conference is to promote our understanding of changes in all components of the geosphere-biosphere system and to assess the causes and consequences of these changes for ecosystems and humans. The conference is considered as a preparatory early career researcher meeting for the major international science conference “Planet Under Pressure 2012: New knowledge towards solutions” to be held in 2012 in London.
Glacial Ocean Atlas (GOA) is the latest project to be endorsed by PAGES. The main purpose of the GOA platform is to support and document the ongoing collection and synthesis of marine paleoenvironmental data for the Last Glacial Maximum.
The PAGES Open Science Meeting (OSM) 2009 Special Issue "Retrospective views on our planet's future" has now been published in its entirety in Climate of the Past.
