The Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) is a long‐standing initiative that provides coordinated paleoclimate modeling and data activities to facilitate valuable discoveries on the mechanisms of climate change. At its recent workshop in Colorado, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and International Geosphere‐Biosphere Program Past Global Changes, more than 70 scientists met to review past successes and discuss future efforts. Participants included atmospheric scientists, oceanographers, and paleoclimatologists from the data and modeling communities.
