Description
PMIP (Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project) is an international project for coordinating palaeoclimate modelling activities designed to understand the mechanisms of climate change and test whether climate models can represent a climate state different from the present day. PMIP began in the early 1990s to provide an efficient mechanism for coordinating palaeoclimate modelling activities.
The key aims of the project are to: (1) understand the mechanisms of climate change; (2) identify the different climatic factors that shape our environment and (3) evaluate the capability of state-of-the-art models to reproduce different climates.
The Nanjing Conference will gather the whole community together once again to put forward the progress of the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project. It will provide the opportunity to discuss progress since the last PMIP meeting in Stockholm in 2017; evaluating results of the new PMIP4/CMIP6 simulations; proposing new ideas on PMIP4 and proxy-system modelling; reviewing the new approaches for quantitative climate reconstructions and comparisons with model simulations; sharing results on different aspects of paleoclimate studies, including but not limit to climate transitions, abrupt events, climate variability and linkages with changes in climate mean state.
Program

The conference will consist of poster sessions for researchers to highlight recent group activities and their individual interests; several invited and/or selected talks to demonstrate the working groups’ activities; keynote speakers to highlight the broader picture around PMIP; paper collaborator speed-dating. The latter portion of the conference will be devoted to organizing the future activities and direction of the working groups.
The conference will be centered on the activities of eight working groups:
Past2K
Quaternary Interglacials
PlioMIP2
Deglaciations
Pre-Pliocene climates (DeepMIP)
P2FVAR (Past2Future)
PMIP-DATA
PMIP infrastructure
Abstracts
Each abstract should identify its relevance to at least one working group, but no more than two working groups. This will help the organization of the final sessions.
Abstract submission deadline is extended to 8 August 2020: http://www.pmip2020.com/1755774363/index?pageId=1759813705

Early-career researchers
The conference will provide opportunities for early-career scientists to develop their networks within PMIP. They are strongly encouraged to attend the conference to contribute fresh ideas and help shape the activities of the different PMIP working groups. Some travel assistance will be provided for a selective group of postdocs and senior PhD students from outside China.
