Abstract:
New approaches based on scaling processes acting over wide ranges of scale must be developped. Using scaling, paleodata objectively shows that the climate is composed of three regimes: climate, macroclimate and megaclimate with transitions at ≈ 100kyrs and ≈1 Myr respectively. Narrow range processes can only be understood in the context of their corresponding scaling regime.
a) Methods for characterizing the spatial and temporal variability of the climate and its proxies This includes the effect of spatial and temporal resolutions of the data. Spectral, fluctuation, wavelet, fractal, multifractal and other analysis techniques are welcomed.
b) Methods for characterizing paleochronologies and correcting for their strongly nonuniform nature.
Most paleo series are derived from cores formed by highly variable (often scaling) sedimentation and erosion processes with the result that the paleodata are sampled with highly variable resolutions (measurement densities).
c) Methods for relating paleo signals to standard climate variables:
Methods that make climate proxies that are closer to the real climate.
d) Methods for characterizing the (scale by scale) correlations, interactions between paleo processes:
This includes cross spectral, cross fluctuation and recurrence plot analysis.
e) New ways of modelling paleoclimates with their variability.
These include stochastic, fractal and multifractal models, and models based on fractional differential equations.

Abstract:
-Human Responses to Dynamics in the Cryosphere, Atmosphere and Hydrosphere: Examining how the rapid disintegration of ice sheets and subsequent sea-level changes as well as abrupt climatic shifts might have influenced (early) human settlements and migrations, reshaping human habitats and resource distributions in profound ways.
-Agricultural Adaptations to Vegetation and Forest Shifts: Analyzing the impacts of sudden shifts in vegetation, such as the dieback of major forests, on the development and sustainability of early agricultural practices, and the impacts of those on the vegetation and forest cover. This might include how abrupt ecological changes forced agricultural societies to adapt or find new ways to sustain their communities.
-Impacts on Hunter-Gatherer Societies: Investigating how abrupt climate and ecological changes affected hunter-gatherer societies, focusing on changes in migration patterns, resource availability, and technological innovations. This theme might delve into how these societies adapted to or were disrupted by sudden changes in their environments.
-Archaeological Indicators of Climate and Social Tipping Points: Presenting archaeological findings as indicators of past ecological, climate, and social tipping points. This may highlight how archaeological data, when aligned with paleoclimatic evidence, enhances our understanding of the triggers and impacts of social tipping points that influenced human societies.
-Synthesizing Paleoclimatic, Archaeological, and Social Data: Emphasizing the importance of integrating paleoclimatic evidence with archaeological and sociological records to build comprehensive narratives about how human societies navigated abrupt environmental and social changes. This synthesis may aim to provide deeper insights into human resilience and adaptability.
-Independent Dynamics of Social Tipping Points: Investigating how social tipping points can arise independently from ecological or climate triggers, creating feedback loops that can significantly influence the trajectory of societal development. This area will explore how these social dynamics, both positive and negative, interact with environmental factors to shape the course of human history.

Abstract:
This is a joint session of the PAGES working groups ACME and MARDI, which both aim at assessing and refining (coastal) marine biogenic proxies, such as diatoms – a special focus of MARDI – dinoflagellate cysts, foraminifera, highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) lipids and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA). A central objective of the two groups is to promote a leap forward in the accuracy of Arctic marine paleo reconstructions, both qualitative and quantitative, that are central for understanding climate-cryosphere-biosphere interactions in the region at relevant timescales.
We welcome contributions that deepen our understanding of marine biogenic proxy behaviour and/or Arctic coastal change.
