Climate of the Common Era
Climate of the Common Era
Session ID#: 124139
Session Description:
This session highlights recent work on all aspects of the climate of the last 2000 years (the Common Era), using new proxy records, data syntheses, reconstruction methodologies, proxy system modeling, and paleoclimate model simulations. Contributions that combine several of the above areas or that utilize the latest generation of paleoclimate model simulations are particularly welcome. A focus of this year's session will be past climate extremes (floods, droughts, heat waves, etc.). New means of reconstructing climate extremes, as well as model-data comparisons that seek to understand their characteristics and drivers, are particularly encouraged.
