Direct simulation of paleoclimatic tracers for a rigorous comparison with observations, development and application of interfaces between model world and reality

• atmosphere/land biosphere: e.g. tree rings
• ocean physics/biogeochemistry: sediment composition
• direct data assimilation of paleo- and proxy-data into models for transient experiments and time slices
