  Information - CL20 Climate of the last millennium: reconstructions, analyses and explanation of regional and seasonal changes (co-listed in NH & OS)

Event Information
In the context of the detection and attribution of human influences on climate it is vital to assess the magnitude of natural climate variability. The instrumental record is relatively short and may be already contaminated by human influences. It is thus vital to gain as much information as possible about past climates and in the above context the last 1000 years is the most important. This symposium seeks presentations on proxy climatic reconstructions of this period on various timescales from interannual (eg from trees, historical records, ice cores, corals, sponges, and lake sediments etc) to century ( eg from sediment cores). Preference will be given both to the exploration of new archives and to the integration of a number of different records together, particularly from different proxies, and attempts to improve understanding of what factors might have caused the variations seen in the millennium on the decadal-to-century timescale. We also seek contributions that compare paleoclimate reconstructions with results from climate models forced with estimates of past forcing factors such as measures of solar output variations and the number and severity of climatically-important volcanic eruptions
