Members of 'Uncertainty Working Group'
This working group has 6 members.
Overview
In the LinkedEarth context, a working group (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts, whose activities are governed herewith. This page is dedicated to the discussion of data and metadata standards for the uncertainty associated with ChronData and PaleoData.
Specific Task
We recommend that the discussions focus on the following considerations, and explore potential commonalities.
For each variable type, we recommend:
- structuring discussions about how uncertainty can affect the scientific questions one would want to ask of the data.
- Listing essential, recommended, and optional uncertainty information for:
- The measurements themselves
- The inferred climate information
- Providing an ideal template to report uncertainty in paleoclimate studies.
- Providing separate recommendations for new and legacy datasets
- Thinking about how the rest of the paleoscience community, or other (non)scientists may make use of the uncertainties you describe.
If you are aware of such standards for uncertainty applied in other fields, feel free to copy/paste or link here.
To get you started with some "easy" question to answer and the way the polls can be structured, refer to this page
