Today the research group took advantage of the density of Universities in the United Kingdom and took the train to Durham University to meet with Erin McClymont and her research team. Here we had an informal workshop on Pliocene data-model comparison with a focus on the ongoing work of PlioMioVAR from the data-side, and teasing apart the role of CO2 forcing from other factors on the palaeoclimate modelling side. Gaining a general overview of where everyone's projects were up to has also stimulated some more ideas for collaboration going forward. On the way, we stopped in at the beautiful Durham Cathedral and walked through the historic university precinct.

ProjectClouds cause the greatest uncertainty in climate models, but we currently have no way of testing cloud model performance in a climate with higher CO2 than the historical records. Palaeontology gives us access to such a past, but currently, we don't have a method to reconstruct cloud in deep time. Archives
