The project is organized in four working groups:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;WG-1 Dating and Chronological Modelling&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A reliable chronological framework is the basis of all studies of the past climate. WG1 is dedicated to developing&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;and improving dating methods over the last 60,000 years and bringing scientists together to develop a coherent&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;dating framework in which records can be compared at unprecedented detail.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;WG-2 Quantification of Past Climate&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The aim of WG-2 is to collect and quantify information of past climate from e.g. ice cores, tree rings, corals,&amp;nbsp;stalagmites, and marine and lake sediments in order to draw a detailed picture of the highly variable climate&amp;nbsp;evolution in the North Atlantic region.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;WG-3 Modelling Mechanisms of Past Change&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Our ability to forecast the rates and magnitudes of future change depends on numerical models. By using&amp;nbsp;combined ice core, terrestrial, and marine data sets as targets, WG-3 will optimize methodologies to evaluate&amp;nbsp;model simulations and make data-model comparisons.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;WG-4 Climate Impacts&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The aim of WG-4 is to gain insights into the impacts of past climatic changes on animal and human populations&amp;nbsp;and the ecosystems of which they are part. WG-4 will quantify the magnitudes and rates of population, species,&amp;nbsp;and ecosystem responses to climate events of different magnitudes in space and through time.&lt;/div&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
