Abstract:
"Correspondence: Your Opinion article "Make the most of palaeodata" (Nature 411, 1; 2001) called for public funding of palaeoclimatic research, more interdisciplinary collaboration and the systematic archiving of data. The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme's core project on past global changes (PAGES) (http://www.pages-igbp.org) and the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/paleo) exist specifically to address these needs, including facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration, providing publicly available palaeoenvironmental data archives, and coordinating the efforts of the 'maze of publicly supported databases'."
