  • PRISM (Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping) Project was initially devised to reconstruct surface conditions from a focused stratigraphic interval (3.264 - 3.025 Ma) that was similar to what we may expect in the near future. 
  • PlioMIP The International Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) was initiated to coordinate and encourage the systematic study of several Global Circulation Models and to assess their ability to simulate large changes in paleoclimate.
  • ​MEDFLOOD, sponsored by INQUA, proposes the creation of a database containing Holocene and MIS 5.5 relative sea level data available in literature for the Mediterranean basin.
