摘要:PAGES is pleased to introduce three new members of its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC). Collectively they will strengthen the committee's modeling and sea level expertise.Pascale Braconnot from heads the Climate Modeling team at Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement in Gif-sur-Yvette, France. Her scientific interest con-cerns the role of the ocean in climate and changes in the tropical hydrological cycle, focusing on the Afro-Asian monsoon and the El Ni.o-Southern Oscillation. Hugues Goosse is a climate modeler at the Universit¨¦ catholique de Louvain in Belgium, with a strong interest in decadal to multi-cen-tennial climate variabil-ity and on the applica-tion of data assimilation methods in paleoclimatology. Yusuke Yokoyama is Associate Professor at the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, Japan. His research is on proxy-based sea-level change and the development of dating methods to interpret sea-level and other palaeoclimate records
