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.

This 20th anniversary edition of PAGES news explores the elusive El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) from a paleo-perspective. The initiative for this special section came out of a 2011 PMIP workshop. In a mini section, a newly introduced format in the PAGES newsletter, four articles on data assimilation address methods of combining observations and model simulations. Finally, this newsletter also features several reports on the 2013 2nd Young Scientists Meeting held in Goa, India.

Studying past interglacial climates provides unique insights on how natural climate changes interact with anthropogenic global warming. This PAGES newsletter highlights Past4Future project research, which aims at improving our understanding of the climate during the last two interglacials by combining paleoclimatic records with climate model simulations.

This newsletter features a cross-section of Japanese contributions to paleoscience. Thanks to recent technological progress, Japanese scientists now have access to many new sediment cores. Also, 400 years' worth of quantitatively reconstructed weather archives are providing insights into local weather and environmental conditions, which are feeding into current research projects. The newsletter also highlights recently held meetings, program news, and coming events.
