 s\, University of Göttingen)\, Elisabeth Dietze (UGGG)\n\nFire regimes ar
 e changing with climate change. Fire weather extremes promote an areal\, t
 emporal and severity increase of fires in many regions of the world includ
 ing landscapes that naturally would be too wet or cold to burn. The long-t
 erm impacts of fire regime intensification (i.e. larger\, more frequent\, 
 more severe fire in longer fire seasons) are poorly understood\, especiall
 y long-term fire impacts on vegetation composition and vice versa.\nProxy-
 based fire reconstructions over decades to millennia and in the Quaternary
  can help to understand the role of fire in shaping landscapes under diffe
 rent climate and human land use intensities. However\, fire impacts can on
 ly be understood when proxy-based fire reconstructions are analyzed in com
 bination with vegetation reconstructions.\nMultiple paleofire proxies (cha
 rcoal and molecular biomass burning residues) have been analyzed in sedime
 ntary archives across the world. More than 1200 paleofire records are curr
 ently hosted by the Global Paleofire Database (GPD) of the International P
 aleofire Network (IPN) and have frequently been used for global to regiona
 l-scale data syntheses. Paleofire syntheses thereby provide powerful ways 
 to disentangle different drivers of fire across spatial and temporal scale
 s. Yet\, the detailed relationship between fire regime\, climate and veget
 ation change remains restricted to single site studies\, such as at Lake E
 l’gygytgyn\, northeastern Siberia. To enable larger scale understanding 
 of fire-climate-vegetation relationships\, several data-based challenges n
 eed to be solved that range from compiling multi-proxy records to harmoniz
 ation of records with different measurements and complying to the FAIR pri
 nciples.\nThis workshop aims to discuss the current state in understanding
  large-scale fire-vegetation interactions with a focus on high latitudes.
  We also like to address and discuss solutions for challenges of harmoniz
 ing data formats and how to best serve the community with moving the Globa
 l Paleofire Database under the umbrella of the Neotoma data repository.\n\
 n\nWe invite researchers\, especially early career (ECRs)\, interested in 
 past fire and its impact/interaction on/with vegetation to discuss their p
 roxy data-based challenges in an open and friendly workshop in Göttingen\
 , Central Germany – in person or online.\n\nDeadline for abstract submis
 sion and registration: 25th January 2023\n\nNo registration fees do apply.
  Limited travel support for ECRs is provided by the DFG (project “Siberi
 an fire regime changes in interglacials of the last 3.6 Ma”) and will be
  awarded until 12th Jan.\n\nOrganized by\n\nProf. Dr. Elisabeth Dietze\, L
