The PAGES-supported 3rd Annual LMR Workshop, titled "Climate Dynamics with the Last Millennium Reanalysis", will be held in Boulder, Colorado, USA, from 2-4 October 2017.

Venue

National Center for Atmospheric Research
Mesa Lab - Main Seminar Room
1850 Table Mesa Drive
Boulder, CO 80305

Logistics

The workshop runs from 2-3 October, with a Hackathon on 4 October.

Background

Paleoclimate data assimilation is emerging as a novel tool to understand low-frequency climate dynamics, blending multi-proxy paleoclimate observations with numerical simulations of Earth’s climate. Previous workshops have investigated the use of proxy system modeling (2015) and modeling stable water isotopes in the climate system (2016).

Description

This workshop will share the project’s latest reconstructions and provide a forum to discuss relevant findings on the climate of the Common Era. The event will focus on validating the approach against complementary datasets and investigations of low-frequency climate dynamics made possible by this framework. The meeting will be followed by a 1-day hackathon, on 4 October 4, to provide graduate students and early-career scientists with hands-on training to use the newly available data and code to perform experiments, manipulate the output, and analyze results.

Financial support

Limited travel support is available for both events, with priority given to junior participants.

Registration
