Workshop Agenda

Identifying New Community-Driven Science Themes for NSF’s Support of Paleoclimate Research: A Workshop

June 21-23, 2021 | 12:00-5:00 pm (All times EDT)

Workshop Goal: This workshop seeks to identify potential future paleoclimate research directions that will help advance understanding of current and future change in the Earth’s climate system. Drawing upon broad community input collected via an online questionnaire, workshop discussions will address gaps in our current understanding of past climate variability and processes, and new research strategies and technological capabilities that could practically be undertaken to effectively fill these knowledge gaps.
