PAGES is committed to providing access to paleoscience in an accessible and informative way. Past Global Changes Magazine is a free magazine with this aim, published twice annually, and delivered in hard copy format, free of charge, to those who are interested.
Each issue requires a new order via the webform. This helps ensure accurate delivery and reduces waste. The order for the upcoming issue of Past Global Changes Magazine, “The Essence of TIME,” will be available until 15 April 2026.
This issue brings together a multidisciplinary team of paleoscientists to explore key gaps, challenges, and future directions in geological dating methods—essential for reconstructing past global changes accurately. Organized by the TIMES (Time Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences) initiative and guest edited by members of the Scientific Steering Committee.
