The extended abstracts included in this volume were prepared by the speakers at the "Workshop on Dynamics and Statistics on Secular Climare Variations," held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy on 4 - 8 December 1995. This volume has been prepared to provide a useful resource for participants of the workshop and others interested in the topic. Support for this publication has been provided jointly by the Institute of Global Environment and Society, Inc. (IGES) and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).
