Appendix A
Statement of Task
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a workshop that seeks to identify potential future paleoclimate research directions that will help advance understanding of Earth’s climate system. Drawing upon broad community input collected via an online questionnaire, workshop discussions will address the following questions:
- What gaps exist in our current understanding of past climate variability and processes?
- What new research strategies and technological capabilities could practically be undertaken to effectively fill these knowledge gaps?
- How can paleoclimate science be relevant to the nexus of science and decision making?
