Abstract:
The overall goal of the CLIMFOR project is to reconstruct the climate variability for Carpathian region for the past 1000 years and to predict forest response to climate changes.
In light of observations of climate changes over the past century, understanding the climate of the past millennium becomes increasingly important. This enables us placing the changes we witness today in a longer-term context, helping us deciphering both natural and anthropogenic forcing on the climate system.
In this context, the project "Forest response to climate change predicted from multicentury climate proxy-records in the Carpathian region" (CLIMFOR) will answer one of the most critical questions in climate research: does the magnitude and rate of the 20th century climate change exceed the natural variability in the Carpathian region? Building on this, the project will also answer a second question, of direct importance for future forest management in a changing climate: how did forests respond to past climatic changes of variable magnitude and frequency? As the instrumental records are limited to the past ca. 100 years, it is necessary to obtain paleoclimatic data from different sources, namely the so-called "proxies": tree rings (width, maximum density, stable isotopic composition of cellulose), perennial cave-ice accumulations (annual layer thickness, stable isotopic composition), lacustrine sediments (thickness of annual layers, embedded pollen etc).
Thus, within CLIMFOR, we will supply high-resolution climate reconstructions that capture 1) the magnitude and rate of change of climatic shifts and 2) the magnitude and frequency of extreme events over the last 1000 years. By integrating paleoclimatic data obtained through dendrochronological, climatological, isotopical, glaciological and sedimentological methods we aim to obtain, for the first time in Romania, a precise and complex view of the climatic changes in the Carpathian region during the late-Holocene and Anthropocene.
CLIMFOR will be the successor of a preliminary study, being the only one in Romania where all proxies have be studied, so that all members of the CLIMFOR research team have done previous studies and are familiar with challenges that might arise. This project will consolidate an existing research network in the field of paleoclimatology in Romania and will strengthen present co-operation between Romanian and donor countries and foreign research institutes. Thereby, competitiveness will be gained with respect of the newly launched EU program Horizon 2020.

Abstract:
The goal of the project is to synthesize data from glaciolacustrine records (laminated/varved lake sediments) and glacial deposits from surrounding areas that span the Last Termination (ca 22–11.5 ka) and Holocene for climate reconstruction. We propose the investigation of three key regions (glacial lakes within classical glacial cirques from three corners of the Romanian Carpathians - Maramures, Iezer and Retezat) for understanding the pattern of glaciation(s)/deglaciation(s) and Holocene climatic events in the Carpathians in the context of rapid climate variability. The project will provide new data relevant for palaeoclimate evolution at regional scale and the high-resolution sedimentological and chronological data employed will allow signal calibration and comparative analysis of different proxies and time-series. Our multi-proxy approach is intended to i) overcome limitations of palaeoclimatic and dating methods; ii) combine different climatic signals into a composite profile; and iii) carry out palaeoclimatic reconstructions taking into account regional and global climatic profiles and identify regional constraints of rapid climate oscillations. The project is not intended to be a singular effort in investigating palaeoclimate evolution in the Romanian Carpathians, and should be regarded as the framework for further investigations of the hitherto neglected Carpathian-Lower Danube region-Balkan Mts. due to its multidisciplinary approach.
