PP53D:
Climate of the Common Era IV

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 17412

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 focus on developing improved quantitative estimates of uncertainty are particularly welcome.  The session will emphasize improved estimates of past climate variability and associated atmosphere-ocean dynamics over the Common Era.  New means of observing and reconstructing climate, as well as model-data comparisons over the Common Era that focus on regional or global-scale climate variability at resolutions of seasons to centuries are encouraged.
