The fourth phase of the PAGES 2k Network

The goals of Phase 4 (2022-2025) are:


1. Reconstruct spatial and temporal hydroclimate variability.

2. Use Earth system models to develop mechanistic understanding of Common Era hydroclimate & use reconstructions as model assessment tools.

3. Develop tools and practices to maximize interoperability of 2k data products.

4. Translate the science into evidence-based policy outcomes.
