YSM Feedback
The feedback from participants was compiled into a reflections document compiled here.
Published articles
Published articles are now appearing in the Climate of the Past special issue emerging from the 2nd Young Scientists Meeting. All of the first authors are early-career researchers who attended our the YSM held in Goa, India in February 2013.

In Eos now three early-career scientists report on the PAGES 2nd YSM in Goa, and discuss future directions for the paleoclimate field, e.g. the need for network building, more quantitative proxy-based reconstructions, fast and efficient data sharing, securing funding, and communicating results.
