Abstract

" The past is the key to the future." In a seminal paper from the 1980's, Bruce Doe recognized the importance of the then emergent field of paleoclimatology to decisions federal agencies would have to make in the face of rising greenhouse gases concentration. The promise of paleoclimatology is two-folds:(1) to assess the current climate change in the context of climate variations across the decades and centuries, and (2) to validate climate model outputs. But it wasn't until recently, with advances in geoinformatics, that paleoclimatology could fully fulfill all of its promises.
