The challenges of synthesizing hydroclimate proxy records...

...are the origins of Iso2k

“Hydro proxies are so complicated!”

“Precipitation is so localized!”

And the usual suspects: •  low-res & hi-res records •  age model uncertainties •  seasonal biases •  etc. etc.

The Iso2k strategy:

“Hydro proxies are so complicated!”

“Precipitation is so localized!”

And the usual suspects: •  low-res & hi-res records •  age model uncertainties •  seasonal biases •  etc. etc.

Document it

Use proxies for regional patterns

Own it

The δ18O and δD of environmental waters (precip, vapor, groundwater, surface water, seawater, etc.) track regional circulation

Key Science Question

Iso2k@PAGES2k-PMIP3Workshop 10May2016

•  Do regional/global hydroclimate patterns exhibit coherent responses to decadal- to centennial-scale temperature changes (from PAGES2K Temperature reconstructions) over the past 2 kyr?

Other Key Topics

Iso2k@PAGES2k-PMIP3Workshop 11May2016

•  Iso2k patterns & relationship with temperature •  Tropical water cycle •  Dominant controls on terrestrial δ18O/δD worldwide •  Dominant controls on marine δ18O •  Climate response to North Atlantic ocean circulation •  Isotopic data assimilation •  Climate response to North Pacific ocean circulation •  Pre-industrial to industrial climate transition •  Isotopic response to volcanic eruptions •  Lake water isotopes and climate model comparison •  δ18O in tree-rings •  Pacific coral δ18O records
