Palaeoclimatology is presently experiencing a period of rapid
growth of techniques and concepts. Studies of earth's past climates
ryrovide excellent opportunities to examine the interactions
between the atmosrhere, oceans, cryosphere and the land surfaces.
Thus, there is a growing recognition of the need of close
collaboration between palaeoclimatologists and the climate mode 11
ers. The workshop "Palaeoclimatic Research and Models (PRaM)" was
organized by the Directorate General for Science, Research and
Development within the framework of the Climatology Research
Programme of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC). The
aim of the workshop was to give to the members of the Contact Group
"Climate Models" and "Reconstitution of Past Climates" of the CEC
Climatology Research Program~e and to some invited scientists the
opportunity to discuss problems of mutual interest. About 35
experts fr.om 10 countries took nart in the workshop. In general,
palaeoclimatologists were asked to identify and discuss the data
corresponding to the three topics as defined by the programme
committee: 1) Abrupt Climate Changes 2) Initiation of Glaciation 3)
Glaciated polar regions and their impact on global climate. Climate
modellers were asked to give their views as to how these specific
problems could be modelled, what use could be ~ade of the available
palaeoclimatic data and which complementary data are needed for
modelling.
