PAGES webinars are all available to watch online
PAGES organized seven webinars between 2018 and 2021.
The PAGES webinars are all available to watch via the PAGES YouTube channel.
7th webinar
Title: "Using simulation results from the Palaeoclimate Model Intercomparison Project"
Date of webinar: 8 December 2021
Many different modelling groups from around the world have performed past climate simulations for several time periods.
A substantial quantity of output from these simulations is freely available for download through the machinery of the Earth System Grid Federation. Small subsets of this data are available elsewhere, such as from the IPCC's Interactive Atlas.
This seminar aimed to help people find and use those data from the PMIP simulations that would be useful for their own research. It will introduce which climate models and periods have been used in PMIP, how to find out what data is available and where, how to download that data and its format, and then highlight some code and tools available to help process that data.
6th webinar
Title: "PAGES-WCRP webinar - WCRP's new science directions"
Date of webinar: 2 December 2021
Over the past two years WCRP went through a fundamental reorganization of its science and the required organizational structure required to address future needs of climate research and to produce answers that society need to address climate change problems. The talk will introduce the new WCRP, its new science foci and its new elements and will highlight interfaces across which enhanced interactions and collaborations with PAGES can flourish in the future.
5th webinar
Title: "Risk-KAN"
Date of webinar: 15 April 2021
PAGES' 5th webinar, with the Knowledge-Action Network on Extreme Events and Emergent Risks (Risk-KAN) was held on 15 April 2021. "Mutual interests, potential synergies, and an invitation to get involved"
The Risk-KAN, a joint initiative of the Future Earth, IRDR, WCRP and WWRP programs, provides an open platform for scientific communities from across science disciplines and engineering working on extreme events, disaster risk reduction and governance to exchange information, knowledge and data and engage in collaborative research activities.

This webinar was introduced by Daniele Colombaroli (PAGES DiverseK working group leader, Royal Holloway University of London, UK) and the speakers are Felix Riede (Risk-KAN past4future working group convener; Department of Archaeology and Heritage Studies/Center for Biodiversity Dynamics in a Changing World, Aarhus University, Denmark) and Phil Riris (Risk-KAN past4future working group convener; Institute for the Modelling of Socio-Environmental Transitions, Bournemouth University, UK).
4th webinar
Title: "Hominin Dispersals Research Group (HDRG)"
Date of webinar: 8 February 2021
Ariane Burke from the PAGES-affiliated Hominin Dispersals Research Group (HDRG) presents "The impact of climate change on the structure of human populations during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Western Europe: implications for biological and cultural evolution."
3rd webinar
Title: "Neotoma Paleoecology Database"
Date of webinar: 15 October 2020
Presenter Jack Williams gives an overview of the Neotoma Paleoecology Database, its mission, key features of its data model, its software ecosystem, growth trends and other recent developments, research and educational partnerships, and data governance. The webinar is introduced by PAGES SSC Member Darrell Kaufman. After Jack's presentation, there is a Q&A session.
2nd webinar
Title: "Promoting FAIR principles at NOAA’s WDS-Paleo"
Date of webinar: 27 May 2020
The primary mission of NOAA's World Data Service for Paleoclimatology (WDS-Paleo) is to ensure that global paleoclimatology proxy and derived reconstruction data are maintained in a permanent archive that is easily and openly accessible to the world science community and to other users. New initiatives of the WDS-Paleo, including bulk data download and the Paleoenvironmental Standard Terms (PaST) Thesaurus of measured variables, help to make these data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, re-usable). Join us for this briefing from Carrie Morrill to learn how to use these new capabilities, both to meet new WDS-Paleo data contribution requirements and to access data more efficiently and effectively.
1st webinar
Title: "The Linked Paleo Data framework (LiPD) - introduction and open discussion"
Date of webinar: 17 October 2018
Data stewardship is an important topic. If you're curious about LiPD, what it is, and what it can do for you, join presenter Nick McKay (Northern Arizona University, USA) as he discusses the framework. Introduction by Darrell Kaufman (PAGES Scientific Steering Committee member and leader of PAGES Data Stewardship Integrative Activity).
