The PAGES2k project will hold an open satellite meeting during the AGU Fall Meeting.
As PAGES2k is now in it's second phase this meeting will be an opportunity to learn about the general project goals and the current status of data collection and analysis. We will also discuss next scientific avenues and issues and strategies related to storing, sharing, and appropriately using paleoclimate data.
The meeting is open to all colleagues interested in contributing to this exciting community effort.
