1. PAGES 30th anniversary issue of Past Global Changes Magazine

30 years of PAGES: Past - Present - Future: This issue of Past Global Changes Magazine celebrates the 30th anniversary of the PAGES project. Since its formation in 1991, PAGES has been at the forefront of paleoscience research. Here we present both a retrospective look at the past 30 years, and also look to the future. There is also a special section led by the PAGES Early-Career Network: https://pastglobalchanges.org/products/pages-magazines/pages-magazine/13239


2. Order Past Global Changes Horizons hard copy by 31 May

PAGES released a new 60-page paleoscience magazine for teenagers and young adults in April 2021. Past Global Changes Horizons highlights science of the past, written in an easy-to-understand, visual format, for those interested in, and wanting to learn more about, environmental issues and global climate change.

Hard copies are available to order via a form available on the magazine's landing page. The deadline to order in the first print run is 31 May. The second print run will later in the year. All details: https://pastglobalchanges.org/products/pages-magazines/pages-horizons/13180


3. New PAGES website coming soon

The PAGES website is currently being revamped and upgraded. We hope you enjoy a more interactive and modern experience. Please check that your People Database profile is up to date. We'd like the People Database to be as fresh and current as the website's new design! https://pastglobalchanges.org/user
