Bridging the gap between (paleo-)weather and climate: Hourly to decadal climate records from incrementally growing paleo-archives
Convener: Niels de WinterECSECS | Co-conveners: Johan Vellekoop, Eleanor JohnECSECS, Jens Zinke, Tamara Trofimova
The effects of the ongoing anthropogenic climate crisis on seasonal variability and weather extremes are becoming ever more visible in our daily lives. Understanding how climate change drives changes in seasonality and weather variability on the human timescale (hours to decades) requires detailed records of variability at this resolution throughout (geological) history. This session will bring together paleoclimate research that focuses on the development and application of accurate, high-resolution records of environmental and climatic variability to bridge the gap between the (palaeo)weather and climate timescale.
We invite research contributions involve using established as well as novel proxies and techniques to resolve (geo)chemical records in incrementally growing archives such as, but not limited to, mollusk shells, corals, coralline algae, fish scales and otoliths, mammal bones and teeth and speleothems down to the sub-micrometer scale. Examples of such proxies include stable isotope ratios and trace element concentrations, microstructure changes, (bio)mineral characteristics, growth increments and other physical properties of high-resolution archives. We also welcome researchers presenting new high-resolution paleoenvironmental and paleoclimate records from these archives in diverse habitats and climate zones, from the marine to the terrestrial realm and from the equator to the poles.
The aim of this session is to bring together scientists whose common aim is to push the limits of the resolution of climate and environmental reconstructions using diverse archives and methods. We hope to foster discussion of the (dis)advantages of certain techniques, archives and statistical methods and provide a breeding ground for collaborations between researchers working in different sub-domains whose research goals are aligned.
