Title ClimeApp: Bringing the very latest climate reconstructions into your research
Description What happened to the climate in Europe after the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815? Is there a correlation between cold winters in the 17th century and increased crime rates? Are crop yields and mortality more closely related to temperature or rainfall in the 20th century?

To answer such questions, researchers need to be able to acquire, process and interpret the very latest climate data. ClimeApp is a newly developed web application designed for precisely this. It gives access to the state-of-the-art ModE-RA paleo-climate reanalysis, a new dataset providing monthly temperature, precipitation and pressure reconstructions for the entire globe, from 1421 to 2008 C.E.

The workshop will give an introduction to using ModE-RA and ClimeApp to bring climate data into your own work. Attendees are encouraged to experiment with ClimeApp before the workshop and then bring their own data and/or research questions. These will then be addressed in the interactive part of the session where the ClimeApp team will work with attendees to discuss how to use ClimeApp for their own research.
