PAGES研究社区致力于提高我们对地球变化环境的理解。通过从长远角度看待当前和未来的全球变化，可以相对于自然变异性对这些变化进行评估。自工业革命以来，地球系统越来越受到人类活动的影响。自然和人类的过程交织成一幅复杂的织锦，其中包括强迫、反应、反馈和后果。在我们规划未来时，破译这种复杂性至关重要。古环境研究是研究地球系统过程的唯一途径，这些过程的时间尺度比仪器记录的时间更长。
The PAGES research community works toward improving our understanding of the Earth's changing environment. By placing current and future global changes in a long term perspective, they can be assessed relative to natural variability. Since the industrial revolution, the Earth System has become increasingly affected by human activities. Natural and human processes are woven into a complex tapestry of forcings, responses, feedbacks and consequences. Deciphering this complexity is essential as we plan for the future. Paleoenvironmental research is the only way to investigate Earth System processes that operate on timescales longer than the period of instrumental records.
