1. PAGES 5th OSM and 3rd YSM post-meeting material
PAGES 5th Open Science Meeting and 3rd Young Scientists Meeting garnered much media attention in Spain. View Aragon TV's 40-min profile program: http://pastglobalchanges.org/news/all-news-items/9-latest-news/1731-ysm-osm-media-17
We have started to populate the OSM post-meeting material section of the website: http://www.pages-osm.org/osm/post-meeting-material
Here you can find OSM media mentions, posters, blogs and photos. Eventually the plenary and session videos will be available too (slow process, sorry!)
If you would like your OSM poster to be on the website, please send a pdf to angela.wade@pages.unibe.ch
2. New 2k Network projects
PAGES 2k Network is now open to new project proposals. Proposals can be submitted anytime during this phase of the project. All details: http://pastglobalchanges.org/ini/wg/2k-network/projects
Learn more about the new CoralHydro2k project: http://pastglobalchanges.org/ini/wg/2k-network/projects/coral-hydro
Other project webpages will be set up soon.
3. Future Earth announces new Executive Director
Dr. Amy Luers, a respected scientist and data innovator, will start her new role at Future Earth in Montreal, Canada, in September 2017. PAGES is a Global Research Project of Future Earth: http://futureearth.org/projects
