Obituary - Bruno Messerli

Details
Published: Thursday, 21 February 2019 14:28

messerli webSwiss paleoscientist and former PAGES' co-director Bruno Messerli passed away earlier this month after a long illness.

From 1996 to 2001, Messerli (with Frank Oldfield) led the way for the PAGES organization, which was founded by his late friend Hans Oeschger.

Messerli was excited by the spirit of the PAGES team because mountain climate research, historical climatology, and the reconstruction of past climate based on natural archives and documentary data were his passions.

Read the full obituary in the next Past Global Changes Magazine, which will be published mid-2019.

PAGES welcomes new SO

Published: Monday, 04 February 2019 15:20

sarah eggleston smallPAGES is pleased to welcome our new Science Officer Sarah Eggleston to the International Project Office (IPO) in Bern, Switzerland.

Eggleston has taken over from Lucien von Gunten, who worked with PAGES for eight years.

Among her many roles, Eggleston will be responsible for the coordination of working groups and other aspects of PAGES' science agenda, as well as editing the Past Global Changes Magazine.

She is most looking forward to returning to paleoclimatology after postdoc experiences in Barcelona. "One reason I'm really excited to join PAGES is because after I was working in the lab during my PhD, I got to do some modeling work with Eric Galbraith", Eggleston said.

"Now I've seen different aspects, and interacted with different parts, of the community and I'm excited to expand my knowledge of this network.

"I'm also really excited to work on the magazine, to stay in touch with paleoclimatology and to maintain a role as an instigator of science, even though I'm no longer conducting my own research."

Eggleston was most recently at Empa in Zürich, Switzerland, studying isotopes of greenhouse gases (methane, nitrous oxide) and did her PhD at the University of Bern from 2011-2015, measuring isotopes of carbon dioxide in ice cores with Hubertus Fischer's group at the Physics Department.

Extratropical volcanic eruptions

Published: Wednesday, 30 January 2019 16:23

vics nat geo jan 19VICS working group members Matthew Toohey et al. published a paper in Nature Geoscience earlier this week on extratropical volcanic eruptions.

In "Disproportionately strong climate forcing from extratropical explosive volcanic eruptions", the authors use ice-core-derived volcanic stratospheric sulfur injections and Northern Hemisphere summer temperature reconstructions from tree rings to show that, in proportion to their estimated stratospheric sulfur injection, extratropical explosive eruptions since 750 CE have produced stronger hemispheric cooling than tropical eruptions.

Host PAGES 2021 OSM & YSM

Details
Published: Monday, 28 January 2019 15:40

osm reads programHeld every four years, PAGES’ Open Science Meeting (OSM) and Young Scientists Meeting (YSM) provide an invaluable opportunity to bring the past global change community together from around the world to share, discuss, learn, and plan for the future.

Would you and your institution like to be an integral part of these premier events in the international paleoscience calendar? The call is now open to host the next meetings in 2021, preferably in the first half of the year.

The bidding process will take place in two stages with Expressions of Interest due 28 February 2019. PAGES' Scientific Steering Committee will then invite a shortlist of selected potential hosts to submit a full bid by early September 2019.

Learn more about our past OSMs and YSMs and watch a short summary video from the successful 2017 events, held in Spain, on PAGES' YouTube Channel.

ECN logoNew post on The Early Pages blog!

At the age of 47, Paul Butler decided to leave a lucrative job as an IT consultant in London and move to a quiet town in North Wales to study Ocean Sciences.

Butler describes what it is like to be a mature student and an early-career researcher (ECR) in their fifties in a post that is full of humour, honesty, and advice to ECRs of all ages.

Butler is currently the team leader for the PAGES 2k Network Phase 3 projects CLIM-ARCH-DATE and ARAMATE.
