 / abstract:\n\nPollen-based quantitative climate reconstructions are funda
 mental to better understanding past environmental changes across various s
 patial and temporal scales and evaluating climate simulations. However\, t
 hese currently mainly exist in extratropical North America and Eurasia\, a
 nd very few quantifications exist in the tropics\, where sparse pollen rec
 ord networks and limitations in existing reconstruction techniques hinder 
 performing comprehensive large-scale reconstructions. My work addresses th
 is global data imbalance by focusing on the tropics. Having developed a no
 vel statistical approach – the CREST (Climate REconstruction SofTware) met
 hod – that circumvents the main issues of the most-used techniques\, I see
 k to analyse and integrate extensive networks of tropical pollen records\,
  characterise regional spatiotemporal modes of climate variability\, and u
 nveil the main drivers of tropical climate changes at the millennial to or
 bital timescales. In this presentation\, I will showcase the approach with
  a multivariate reconstruction using a 270\,000-year-long\, high-resolutio
 n pollen record from Laguna Fùquene in Colombia.\n
