Proxy Development, Calibration and Validation
Convenors
Caroline Cleroux, Denis-Didier Rousseau
Description
This session supports improvement of the precision and accuracy of paleoproxies as a basis for high-quality records and reconstructions of past global change to complement instrumental data. It includes efforts on proxy interpretation and development, analytical innovation, inter-laboratory comparisons, and calibration refinement, which lead to uncertainty reduction in proxy-based reconstructions.
