Data Mining Over Past Climates

Description

Estimates of climate variations over the past 1,000 years play an increasing role in climate assessments. A key quantity to derive from them is the transient climate response (TCR), which quantifies the warming at expected from slowly-rising CO2 concentrations. TCR helps constrain the climate models used to predict the future evolution of Earth’s climate. In this project, you will help design an efficient workflow to estimate TCR from existing paleoclimate datasets and emerging statistical methods.
