Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee, we invite you to attend a 
PAGES/CLIVAR workshop entitled "Reducing and Representing Uncertainties 
in High Resolution Proxy Climate Data", to be held at the ICTP in 
Trieste, Italy June 9-11, 2008. The workshop prospectus is attached for 
your review. The workshop will bring together representatives from each 
major high-resolution paleoclimate archive to discuss proxy-specific 
sources of error, and strategies for reducing these errors. Your 
contributions are essential to the success of the workshop, and we 
sincerely hope that you can attend.

Thanks to the ICTP, the Electric Power Research Institute, and PAGES, 
funds are currently in place to cover US$1000 of your travel expenses 
(roughly US$400 of which will cover your lodging, breakfasts, and 
lunches at ICTP). Pending additional workshop funds, requests for 
additional funding will be handled on a case-by-case basis, as needed.

Please respond with a tentative yes or no as soon as possible, so that 
we can ensure that each proxy group is well-represented.

Thank you, and we hope to see you in Trieste next summer.

Sincerely,

Kim Cobb
Janice Lough
Jonathan Overpeck
Sandy Tudhope
Thorsten Kiefer
