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

Kick-Off Workshop

We are planning to run this

early August 2025 to discuss and develop the TIMES science plan and structure.
