Overview Adequate incorporation of land cover in global and regional climate models is still one of the major priorities in the climate modeling community. In particular, anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) is still not successfully implemented in these models. As a result, climate modeling in paleo-mode or projection mode that tries to take ALCC into account is […]
Age Models, Chronologies, and Databases Workshop – January 13-16, 2014
I was lucky to have been part of age-modeling workshop held at the 14CHRONO Centre for Climate, the Environment, and Chronology at Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was a great opportunity to discuss age modeling of stratigraphies with eminent researchers in the field and discuss the latest developments and challenges associated with the long-term archiving […]
PAGES Human-Environment Interactions Workshop, Feb. 2014
Towards a more accurate quantification of human-environment interactions in the past. Several REAL members attended the PAGES focus 4 workshop at the University of Leuven, Belgium, between February 3-7, 2014. The focus of the workshop was the quantification of human-environment interactions and how to improve quantification accuracy, especially in large-scale reconstructions of past land use […]
