The primary goals of this workshop were to:
- Identify the main sources of uncertainty in the different types of proxy data
- Make recommendations for how to better represent proxy error to non-specialists
- Develop strategies for reducing uncertainties associated with each proxy type
- Develop internationally coordinated strategy for re-sampling existing key proxy sites and sampling key new sites for each climate proxy
This workshop was co-sponsored by EPRI, ICTP, U.S. NSF, NOAA, CLIVAR and PAGES.
