The papers presented in this special issue of PAGES news report recent tephrochronological research from places separated by great distances.The result of these new studies has been to develop new methodologies capable of coaxing extremely small amounts from the most obdurate deposits, so that time frames and site-linkage techniques for past environmental studies have improved greatly in precision.

This issue of PAGES news addresses rates of change. How fast did the climate system respond in the past? Estimates of past rates of change provide us with a long-term perspective on recent changes and help us to appreciate their magnitude. Furthermore, they give us a taste of how rapid climate change may operate in the future.

Worldwide, many thousand volumes with daily observations exist, but have not yet been analyzed for their climatic information. Many scientists are of the opinion that observations made before the instrumental period are “subjective” and less reliable than natural proxies. But these data were collected by very experienced scientists and observers. Once calibrated and verified in the present, the data are precise and have a spatiotemporal resolution unmatched by any other climate proxy data.
