This issue of Past Global Changes Magazine "Building and Harnessing Open Paleodata" showcases the ongoing growth of a rich variety of openly available, globally distributed paleodata. It highlights new scientific, software, funding, and outreach initiatives that harness these open-data resources. Open-data systems are fueling new scientific frontiers, empowering early-career scientists, and enabling the intelligent reuse of data, while encouraging the stewardship of valued data assets. The ultimate goal is to power the next generation of scientists and scientific discovery with an open architecture of scientific data as complex, deep, and interlinked as the Earth system itself.

This issue of Past Global Changes Magazine "Past Land Use and Land Cover" emphasizes the need for appropriate reconstructions of past land-use and land-cover change to study the effect of past anthropogenic land-cover change on climate (the land-use forcing) using Earth System Models. It also highlights how land-use and land-cover change over past millennia can be reconstructed at local to regional and continental scales using the results of archaeological studies combined with model-based quantification of past plant cover from fossil pollen data. The magazine is a product of PAGES' LandCover6k working group.

This issue of Past Global Changes Magazine “Centennial to Millennial Climate Variability" shows how recent progress in our knowledge of past climates led us to revisit our ideas about the spectrum of natural climate variability. Contributions highlight the concept of scaling laws, but also warn about pitfalls of paleoclimate timeseries analysis. It is a product of PAGES' Climate Variability Across Scales (CVAS) working group.

This issue of PAGES Magazine highlights the cross-disciplinary work of the Past4Future project, which ended in late 2014. The project aimed to combine proxy data with climate model simulations to investigate past abrupt climate changes during warm climate periods, specifically the last two interglacials, and evaluate the risk of abrupt changes in the future. This issue also details the launch of four new PAGES working groups.

This issue of PAGES Magazine addresses mineral dust, giving an overview of the science the ADOM working group has focused on in recent years. It covers both modern developments and paleo archives and highlights challenges to state-of-the art dust research. It also outlines how PAGES' new dust working group, DICE (Dust Impact on Climate and Environment), plans to build on ADOM's work.
