It pools from many disciplines and consequently has many co-organised sessions with other divisions at the EGU General Assembly. The division is very interdisciplinary and covers climate variations on all time scales. CL includes the study of any kind of climate archive from rocks to ocean cores, speleothems, ice cores, chronicles, to instrumental records to name a few. Besides observations, climate modelling on all time scales from the deep past to the future are areas covered by the division. Any aspect of the climate system falls into the realm of the division e.g. atmosphere, ocean, biosphere, cryosphere, and geology. Themes focus on the climate on Earth but may also expand other planets or the Sun.</p> <div class="headline"> <h2>Latest posts from the CL blog</h2> </div> <article class="media"> <img role="presentation" alt="" class="img-fluid img-thumbnail" src="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/12/06/38f704c9-fa60-4a85-86ba-b7074f2da620.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp" srcset="https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/12/06/38f704c9-fa60-4a85-86ba-b7074f2da620.jpg.120x120_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 1x, https://www.egu.eu/media/news/blogmessages/2024/12/06/38f704c9-fa60-4a85-86ba-b7074f2da620.jpg.240x240_q90_crop-smart_upscale.webp 2x" loading="lazy"> <div class="media-body"> <a class="h4 external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cl/2024/12/06/open_climate_science/">Open climate science is brave climate science</a> <ul class="list-inline mt-1"> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="fab fa-fw fa-wordpress"></i> <a class="external" href="https://blogs.egu.eu/divisions/cl/">Climate: Past, Present & Future</a></li> <li class="list-inline-item"><i class="far fa-fw fa-calendar-plus"></i> posted 3 months ago</li> </ul> <p>Why are we climate scientists?
