Access to paleo data and information
One major PAGES task is to provide easy access to paleodata and information
about paleoarchives. This information is available through the web site (http://
www.pages-igbp.org). The site is modifi ed regularly and includes new products,
databases, science highlights, upcoming events and general information on
paleoarchives.
A set of overhead view graphs is available to download from the website.
These overheads are regularly used by scientists for educational and public
outreach lectures. The overheads are sent free of charge to scientists in
developing countries who are unable to download and print them from
the website.
Another PAGES forum for communication is
our newsletter. PAGES NEWS is produced three
times a year and sent free of charge to 3000
subscribing scientists in more than 70 countries.
Such wide distribution, coupled with a high
degree of proactive submission by the research
community, has made the newsletter an important
vehicle for the dissemination of research
results and program news, especially in countries
with limited access to western journals.
PAGES strongly encourages publications in the peer reviewed literature as a
result of its scientifi c activities. An exhaustive list of publications which have
come about in part due to PAGES activities is diffi cult to construct because
of the inclusive nature of the PAGES organization. However, some examples
of recent books and special journal issues which are directly attributable
to activities organized and supported by the PAGES program are listed in
