Abstract
This workshop continued the recent trend in studies of the last few thousand years in bringing together results from a number of different paleoclimatic disciplines. Such studies have either focused on specific periods (Bradley and Jones, 1992; Frenzel, et al., 1994; Hughes and Diaz, 1994 Bradley and Jones, 1995), specific aspects such as documentary sources and the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon (Frenzel et al., 1992 and Diaz and Markgraf, 1992) or attempted to describe past variability on the important decadal-to-century timescale (Murray and Overpeck, 1993 and Martinson et al., 1995). The aims of the workshop were threefold:- to bring researchers together from different disciplines to discuss common issues and review the latest results to begin to relate what has happened to the history of forcing mechanisms over the last 2000 years to highlight the need for paleoclimatic information in the climate change detection issue.
