However\, t hese currently mainly exist in extratropical North America and Eurasia\, a nd very few quantifications exist in the tropics\, where sparse pollen rec ord networks and limitations in existing reconstruction techniques hinder performing comprehensive large-scale reconstructions. My work addresses th is global data imbalance by focusing on the tropics. Having developed a no vel statistical approach – the CREST (Climate REconstruction SofTware) met hod – that circumvents the main issues of the most-used techniques\, I see k to analyse and integrate extensive networks of tropical pollen records\, characterise regional spatiotemporal modes of climate variability\, and u nveil the main drivers of tropical climate changes at the millennial to or bital timescales. In this presentation\, I will showcase the approach with a multivariate reconstruction using a 270\,000-year-long\, high-resolutio n pollen record from Laguna Fùquene in Colombia.\n DTSTART:20240402T163000Z DTEND:20240402T173000Z SUMMARY:Geotop Seminar Series: Dr Manuel Chevalier URL:/eps/channels/event/geotop-seminar-series-dr-manue l-chevalier-356150 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
