HISTORY AND REPORTS
INTIMATE was launched at the XIVth INQUA Congress held in Berlin in 1995, and its primary objective was the synthesis of records of the Last Termination from the North Atlantic region.
The project was established to encourage collaboration between members of the ice-core, marine and terrestrial ‘communities’ in order to synthesise the large number of high-resolution stratigraphical records of the Last Termination now available from the North Atlantic.
Since this time, the programme has expanded to other parts of the world, including Australasia in 2004. Australian and New Zealand members meet regularly to discuss the latest results within their regions.
