T Minus One Week!

...Until abstracts are due that is. Are you an early bird submitter or a last minute submitter like most of us? If you have not already submitted your abstract to this years AGU Fall 2013 Meeting please check out our session PP005: Climate Variability from multiple reconstructions.

We hope to see all of you at AGU!

Calling all Abstracts!

It's that time of year again! AGU 2013 will be held December 9-13 in San Francisco, CA. Today is the opening day of abstract submissions for the AGU 2013 Fall Meeting. Deadlines for abstract submissions is August 6 at 11:59 EDT.

Do you have an awesome multiproxy climate reconstruction you are itching to present? Yes you say? Then come submit your abstract to our session! If you have any questions about the session please feel free to comment or contact us! We hope to see you in San Fran!

PP005. Climate variability from multiple reconstructions

Each paleoclimate proxy has its own unique strengths and interpretation limits. Combining records with a common climate forcing allows researchers to extract the common climatic signal while reducing reconstruction uncertainty. Multiproxy records can be the same archive with different variables measured (e.g., δ18O and Sr/Ca), unique archives with the same variable (e.g., coral δ18O and speleothem δ18O), or any combination therein. Combining records with differing resolution is challenging yet may reveal unique results not possible with a single archive. We encourage abstracts involving multiproxy records that explore climate variability or abstracts that assess methods and uncertainty in producing reconstructions based on multiple records.

Here Ye, Here Ye!

To our fine colleagues,
If you have tallied up records with decadal to sub-annual resolution or are exploring methods for reconstructing climate at such high resolutions, we invite you to consider our session for this Fall's AGU in San Francisco!

PP005: Climate Variability From High-Resolution Proxies

Paleoclimate records with decadal–subannual resolution provide a unique perspective on past climate on centennial–seasonal timescales. High-resolution paleoclimate data often overlap and extend the instrumental record, providing the increased observation period needed to investigate aspects of climate variability such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Atlantic Multidecadal Variability. However, high-resolution records may include environmental noise that combines with analytical error to confound interpretations of relatively small signals. We encourage abstracts involving high-resolution records, either exploring paleoclimate, or exploring methods for improving these records.
