22 (1): Annual Recorders of the Past
This is the first issue of Past Global Changes Magazine (or PAGES Magazine for short), which is a direct continuation of our newsletter, PAGES news, but with a new look and name. This issue reports on natural archives and analytical techniques that are allowing environmental changes to be reconstructed at annual to sub-annual time scales, thereby narrowing the resolution gap between proxy records and instrumental data. The Mini Section explores human impact on soils and sediment in Asia and outlines ongoing plans to continue work in this critical region of the world.
