Sediments of Sphagnum-dominated peatlands constitute a valuable archive of Holocene climate change and variability. These peatlands are broadly distributed at mid to high latitudes in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and at high elevations at lower latitudes, including tropical mountains. Their sediments contain a variety of microfossil, macrofossil, geochemical, and stable-isotope proxies of temperature and hydrology, and records are demonstrably sensitive to subcentennial to subdecadal climate variation.This grant supports an international workshop to take place in May 2009, assembling 36 leading researchers to identify critical research needs and priorities, develop a comprehensive science agenda to advance peatland paleoclimatology, and initiate planning for a global network of Holocene peatland records. Participants will include scientists with expertise in peatland paleoclimatology, hydrology, and biogeochemistry, as well as paleoclimatologists with expertise in modeling, and statistical analysis, and other late Holocene archives (e.g., tree rings, speleothems, lake sediments).Intellectual Merit:The workshop will advance the science of Holocene paleoclimatology by fostering paleoclimate studies using peatland archives and integrating them with other high-resolution archives. Workshop products will include summary articles, research collaborations, and spinoff proposals to scientific agencies in North America (including NSF), Europe, and elsewhere.Broader Impacts:The workshop will foster international scientific cooperation and collaboration in paleoclimatology. At least 25% of the participants will be from outside North America and western Europe (Asia, South America, former Soviet Bloc), and at least 15% of the participants will be early-career scientists, primarily graduate students and post-docs.

以泥炭型为主的泥炭地的沉积物构成了全新世气候变化和可变性的有价值的档案。这些泥炭地广泛分布在北半球和南半球的中部至高纬度地区，在包括热带山脉在内的较低纬度的高海拔。 Their sediments contain a variety of microfossil, macrofossil, geochemical, and stable-isotope proxies of temperature and hydrology, and records are demonstrably sensitive to subcentennial to subdecadal climate variation.This grant supports an international workshop to take place in May 2009, assembling 36 leading researchers to identify critical research needs and priorities, develop a comprehensive science agenda to advance peatland paleoclimatology, and initiate计划全新世泥炭地的全球网络。 Participants will include scientists with expertise in peatland paleoclimatology, hydrology, and biogeochemistry, as well as paleoclimatologists with expertise in modeling, and statistical analysis, and other late Holocene archives (e.g., tree rings, speleothems, lake sediments).Intellectual Merit:The workshop will advance the science of Holocene paleoclimatology by fostering paleoclimate studies using peatland档案并将它们与其他高分辨率档案集成在一起。研讨会产品将包括摘要文章，研究合作以及向北美科学机构（包括NSF），欧洲和其他地方的科学机构的衍生提案。BRODER的影响：研讨会将促进古气候学的国际科学合作与合作。至少有25％的参与者将来自北美和西欧以外（亚洲，南美，前苏联集团），至少有15％的参与者将是早期职业科学家，主要是研究生和研究生。
