White Paper and Call for Action link - Timing is Everything

Note: Currently the coordination network is being developed and no long term funding is secured at the moment.

TIMES

Time Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences

We need an international, well-coordinated effort to revise and recalibrate biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and radioisotopic dating using the synchronization tool of astrochronology. Synthesizing climate proxy data with orbital and sub-orbital scale resolution to enable regional and global syntheses of spatial and temporal climate variability for the last 100 million years requires this action. Cross-pollination of expertise is required to adopt new age models to existing sites with key climate proxy archives.

AIM=> to establish and coordinate a new international network to synchronise age models of scientific ocean drill cores and outcrops spanning the last 100 million years

PAGES Special Issue - The Essence of Time

Past Global Changes Magazine on "The essence of time" - with 17 contributions from TIMES Working Group Members.

Guest edited by Jennifer Kasbohm, Thomas Westerhold, Bärbel Hönisch, Adriane R. Lam, Anna Joy Drury and Deborah Tangunan, this issue brings together a multidisciplinary team of paleoscientists to explore key gaps, challenges, and future directions in geological dating methods, including biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, and radioisotopic dating.
