Abstract:
Thus, climate system models are now used to assess possible paths of future climate while at the same time they are exposed to boundary conditions that represent the Earth's varied past. The further from the full range of observational data these periods are, the more there is a need for model-independent information so that the predictions or hind-casts can be corroborated, if not validated. Such interdisciplinary interactions between climate modeling and geological sciences are developing into a balanced partnership where each approach has its own strength and weaknesses. This presentation shows examples of how expanding this collaboration is necessary if we want to answer some of the most relevant questions of our future.
