EuroCLIMATE

In this EUROCORES the following 12 funding agencies cooperate: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Check Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The topics are:

1. Reconstructing past climates

• Multi-proxy records from different archives
• Development of a common chronology for paleo-records of martine, terrestrial and atmospheric processes
• Develop an understanding of existing proxies and develop new ones

2. Modelling and understanding processes of past climates

• The coupled climate system
• The carbon cycle
• The interactions between climate and vegetation

Extra Information

The call is now closed and 9 projects with a total of 30 part-projects have been approved. Dutch researchers participate in seven of these part-projects:
