To mark its 20th anniversary, Climate of the Past, an interactive journal of the European Geosciences Union, is launching a special webinar series celebrating two decades of leading paleoclimate science.
Each webinar will emphasize the journal’s scientific diversity and impact, featuring two invited talks of 30 minutes from leading researchers across different areas of paleoclimate science. Talks will be followed by a live 30 minutes Q&A session, allowing for discussion and engagement with the broader community.
How rare are truly rare climate extremes? This session uncovers how paleoclimate archives and climate models together expose the full spectrum of hydroclimatic risk—past, present, and future—from hurricane overwash preserved in coastal sediments to centuries-long megadroughts revealed by proxy networks. To address this topic, we have selected two guest speakers: Jessica Pilarczyk (Simon Fraser University) and Jason Smerdon (Columbia University).
