CC-BY 126 WORKSHOP REPORT the Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) organized a three-day Proposal Development training Workshop to enhance the capacity of young scientists in south Asia to develop competitive project proposals. the workshop provided an opportunity for young scientists to identify peer scientists working in the area of paleoclimate and develop regional research proposals. the workshop aimed to build transdisciplinary collaborations among climate scientists including paleoclimatology. twenty young scientists from south Asia attended the training workshop and developed five proposals, two of which were developed to address paleoclimate issues in the region. Of the two proposals, one focuses on the analysis of land-based tree-ring proxies, and the other focuses on lower-resolution proxies such as from marine sediment cores.
