LOTRED-SA scientific goals

LOTRED-SA aimed to involve research groups from different countries working within a common frame to achieve these scientific goals:

1. To collate, maintain, and share a common, state-of-the-art database with the available multi-proxy datasets.

2. To produce, as a collective of authors, a series of research results and papers that exceed our capacity as individuals. Results may include a gridded data set for temperature and precipitation reconstructions, the diagnosis of solar and volcanic forcing, and the analysis of extreme events, among others.

3. Compare the multi-proxy reconstruction with results from GCM runs for the last 1000 - 2000 years or selected windows of interest.
