PP41A:
Climate of the Common Era I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 59499

Session Description:
This session highlights recent work on all aspects of the climate of the Common Era using new proxy records, data syntheses, reconstruction methodologies, proxy system modeling, and paleoclimate model simulations. Contributions that combine several of these areas or that focus on developing improved quantitative estimates of uncertainty are particularly welcome. A focus of this year's session will be on the use of Common-Era data and analyses for policy and management insights. Examples include establishing a baseline for future risk assessments, conservation, and resiliency, or the characterization of past climate-society relationships as frameworks for anticipating and mitigating future impacts.
