Past4Future: European interdisciplinary research on past warm climate periods.

Past4Future was a Collaborative Project
in the European Union’s Framework
Programme 7; it aimed to generate knowledge about climate changes during the
last two interglacials. The approach was
to combine proxy data with climate model
simulations to investigate the existence and
the cause of past abrupt climate changes
during warm climate periods in order to
evaluate the risk of abrupt changes in the
future. Featuring contributions from a number of Past4Future participants, this Science
Highlights section of PAGES Magazine
showcases the cross-disciplinary nature of
this very successful project that ended in
December 2014.
