  Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Phase II http://pmip2.lsce.ipsl.fr/
This project studying the role of climate feedbacks arising for the different climate subsystems (atmosphere, ocean, land surface, sea ice and land ice) and evaluating the capability of state of the art climate models to reproduce climate states that are radically different from those of today.
  Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project http://pmip.lsce.ipsl.fr/
Coordinates and encourages the systematic study of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) and to assess their ability to simulate large changes of climate such as those that occurred in the distant past.
  Network for Ice Sheet and Climate Evolution http://nice.ipsl.jussieu.fr/
NICE aims to predict more confidently the climate evolution over the next centuries to millennia and to identify the causes of the climatic changes and the uncertainties of climate predictions.
  Global Analysis, Interpretation, and Modelling http://gaim.sr.unh.edu/
The goal of GAIM is to advance the study of the coupled dynamics of the Earth system using as tools both data and models.
  ALP-IMP Research Project http://www.zamg.ac.at/ALP-IMP/
Multi-centennial climate variability in the Alps. Compilation project of instrumental data and proxy information from tree-ring records, isotopic ice core records, and glacier variability records.
  Models and Observations to Test Climate Feedbacks http://motif.lsce.ipsl.fr/
The MOTIF project proposes a coordinated approach to use past states of the climate system as a demanding test of the capabilities and reliability of the latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere-vegetation general circulation models (OAVGCMs).
