Note: Currently the coordination network is being developed and no long term funding is secured at the moment.
TIMES
Time Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences
We need an international, well-coordinated effort to revise and recalibrate biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and radioisotopic dating using the synchronization tool of astrochronology. Synthesizing climate proxy data with orbital and sub-orbital scale resolution to enable regional and global syntheses of spatial and temporal climate variability for the last 100 million years requires this action. Cross-pollination of expertise is required to adopt new age models to existing sites with key climate proxy archives.
AIM=> to establish and coordinate a new international network to synchronise age models of scientific ocean drill cores and outcrops spanning the last 100 million years

Kick-Off Workshop
We are planning to run this
12-15 August 2025 at Carnegie (Washington DC) to discuss and develop the TIMES science plan and structure.
