Seat
Paleoclimatology
Deep-time CO₂ reconstruction and Cenozoic transitions.
Stockholm Resilience Centre · LDEO · PIK Potsdam
Scientific Council
Every frame is held to
peer-reviewed Earth science.
DeepEarth is not artistic interpretation. Every paleoclimate reconstruction, sea-level reading, and projection is sourced from the open scientific literature and validated by a standing advisory council.
I · Advisory seats — in formation
Six disciplines hold the work to the open scientific record. Named appointments announced as the council convenes; institutions listed are active conversation partners.

III · Method
Each location-frame is a join across three indexes — paleogeographic position, climate-state reconstruction, and biosphere assemblage. The result is not an image of the past; it is a defensible reading of it.
