CAPE is as an organization within IGBP-PAGES Focus 2: Paleoclimate and Environmental Variability in Polar Regions. The main goal of CAPE is to provide the vehicle through which international and national Arctic paleo-programs can be linked. The primary emphasis of CAPE is to facilitate scientific integration of paleoenvironmental research on terrestrial environments and adjacent seas during the last 250,000 years of Earth history, particularly those tasks that cannot easily be achieved by individual investigators or even regionally focused research teams.
Circumpolar syntheses of environmental reconstructions for specific time slices or key time series are accomplished through focused international meetings that are intended to bring together the primary researchers in the paleo-data and modeling communities. The first CAPE meeting, Holocene Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Environmental Change in the Arctic, was held in Lammi, Finland on 4-7 April 1997. Building on the momentum of the initial meeting, CAPE expects to hold a series of regional workshops to bring together data-based and model-based researchers to synthesize available multi-proxy data on specific topics. |
