Abstracts of a workshop held in Ottawa, Canada, November 20-23, 1992. 



Members of the Canadian climate modelling community met in Ottawa with representatives of 

the Canadian paleo-proxy community and a few international invitees to discuss and plan 

options for research under the Paleoclimate-Model Intercomparison Project (PMIP). The 

workshop dealt specifically with the interval 6,000 years BP (referred to as 6 ka), and 

how data from that era can be used by Canadian modellers as part of their model 

intercomparison activity.
