7. LINKAGES
Because continental drilling for paleoclimate records is intimately linked with the PEP transects, it has connections to a wide variety of other PAGES, IGBP, and external activities. The PEP transects, together with IMAGES and polar ice core projects, form the primary observational activities of PAGES. These observational activities are scientifically and philosophically linked to other efforts, especially climate modeling work and studies of the human dimensions of global change. The PANASH report (PAGES, 1995) offers a more detailed discussion of linkages to other global change research activities.
