Abstract:
|
Paleoclimate reconstruction plays an important role in understanding climate change. Typically, a reconstruction is based on climate information from proxies such as tree rings, pollen, boreholes or other observations. It poses a challenging statistical problem because the climate signal is often embedded in substantial noise. The scientific significance and statistical flavor has created a growing interest from statisticians. We will discuss the present and potential role of statistics in paleoclimate reconstruction for learning about climate change.
