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 Attachment Converted: "c:\eudora\attach\ProxyUncertainty08.pdf"
