Overview

In the Linked Earth 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 chronologies, and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard.

This WG needs to work closely with other WGs, as constraints will vary by archive. Nevertheless, some aspects are common enough that it is worth pursuing some general recommendations, and devise ad hoc adjustments for individual archives if need be. It is recommended that every WG coordinator join this WG to keep track of discussions.

Members

The chronologies Working Group has one coordinator, Christof Pearce (Stockholm University)

Specific tasks

We recommend that discussions focus on the following techniques, and explore potential commonalities.

Definition of essential, recommended, and desired in regards to paleoclimate data standards

For each chronology type, we recommend:

  • structuring discussions around what scientific questions one would want to ask of the data
  • listing essential, recommended, and desired information for:
    • the age models themselves
    • the chronological measurements (ChronData tables, in LiDP/LinkedEarth parlance)
    • their uncertainties, and what those numbers correspond to (e.g. 1-sigma or 2-sigma?)
  • provide an ideal chronology table, so the community knows what to report and how to report it.
  • provide separate recommendations for new and legacy datasets

While it is recognized that most real-word chronologies are of mixed types (e.g. a Holocene lake sediment chronology may blend radiocarbon dates, 210Pb dates, and volcanic ash markers), it is critical to first define guidelines for how to report pure chronologies. Once the foundations are sound, they will be easier to compose together.

Nomenclature

In paleoclimatology, scientists tend to reference the time axis either starting from the present (present often being taken as 1950) and counting positively back in time. In the current LiPD model, this concept is referred to as 'age'. On the other hand, some scientists, especially focusing on the last 2,000 years, use the Gregorian Calendar. In LiPD, this concept is referred to as 'year'.

Should we keep these two separate concepts?

Recommendation from the literature

The recommendations below are from Govin et al. 2015 [1].

"Future climate-stratigaphic alignments should provide (1) a clear statement of climate hypotheses involved, (2) a detailed understanding of environmental parameters controlling selected tracers and (3) a careful evaluation of the synchronicity of aligned paleoclimatic records. We underscore the need to (1) systematically report quantitative estimates of relative and absolute age uncertainties, (2) assess the coherence of chronologies when comparing different records, and (3) integrate these uncertainties in paleoclimatic interpretations and comparisons with climate simulations."

Absolute dating of aragonitic corals

Dating fossil corals often requires the use of U-series age.

Age calculation and its intrinsic uncertainties

"In recent years, most ages have been obtained through high precision TIMS or MC-ICP-MS measurements are are generally given with a ±2σ. Earlier, they were mostly obtained through alpha particle counting and generally cited with a ±1σ uncertainty. [1]"
For U-series measurements in coral archive, should the uncertainty be reported as

"Some vagueness persists with respect to the way quoted uncertainties include or not all potential sources of analytical errors (internal vs external precision), which makes direct comparison of databases somewhat hazardous. [1]"
"Moreover, radiometric age equations include decay constants of all concerned isotopes, which are known with some uncertainty. The comparison of such U-series ages to any other time scale, such as glaciological ages, astronomically-tunes ages and other radiometric ages, requires the U-series decay constant uncertainties to be carried into the final age error calculation [1]"

Dating of speleothems

Absolute dating and stratigraphic markers

Speleothems can be absolutely dated over the last 600ka with the U-Th methodology [2], with a dating uncertainty better than 0.5% [3] [4] [5].

Recommendation from Govin et al. (2015) [1]

"Ideally, new [spleothem] records should present growth rates as high as possible and numerous U-Th dating points in order to (1) reduce dating uncertainty, (2) enhance the robustness of radiometric chronologies on centennial to millennial time scales, (3) maximize constraints on the 'accordion effect' induced by growth rate changes and (4) optimize the assessment of the synchronicity between records. [1]"

Chronologies in marine sediments

Summary of methods used to derive chronologies in marine sediments. Adapted from Govin et al. (2015) [1]
Method Hypotheses Age Uncertainties Strengths Limitations/difficulties Recommendation
Radiocarbon Reservoir age correction is known and not changing over time See #Radiocarbon Absolute chronologies Reservoir Age correction
Synchronization of tephra horizons Correct identification of the same tephra in different archives
  • Absolute dating error (if available)
  • Synchronization error
  • Accurate synchronisation
  • Several tephra horizons identified during the same interval
  • Absolute dating control sometimes possible
  • Taphonomic issues (reworking, dissemination, dispersion of shards)
  • Unequivocal identification of source volcano and eruptive event via diagnostic fingerprinting

High potential of synchronization

Synchronization of geomagnetic excursions and of relative paleointensity records Global signal Potential to synchronize paleointensity to cosmogenic isotopic records from ice cores
  • Large dating uncertainty of geomagnetic excursions
  • Uncertainties associated with the magnetization acquisition process
Method suitable for local to global synchronization when sediments pass criteria of paleomagnetic reliability
Benthic foraminifera δ18O alignment In-phase benthic δ18O variations
  • Alignment error (e.g. resolution, matching)
  • Uncertainty related to the hypothesis (e.g. possibility of diachronous high-latitude temperature changes)
  • Dating uncertainty of the reference
Common tracer: many available records Diachronous deep-water temperature and δ18O changes across water-masses Method suitable between sites located within the same water mass
SST alignment to ice cores In-phase high-latitude sea surface and air temperature changes High-resolution ice core records for the last 800 ka
  • Restricted to high latitudes
  • Precise geographical extension of synchronous temperature changes
  • Sensitive to uncertainties in SST reconstruction methods (e.g., seasonality, living depth, transport)
Method suitable for North Atlantic and Southern Ocean sites
Marine alignment to speleothems In-phase regional changes in marine (e.g., SST, salinity, pollen) and continental (e.g., rainfall amount) tracers
  • High dating accuracy
  • Very high-resolution speleothem records
  • Mostly applicable in tropical and mid-latitude regions (where speleothem records are available)
  • Speleothem records sometimes discontinuous
  • Climatic drivers of speleothem tracers (moisture availability?)
Method suitable for sites (mostly from tropical and mid-latitude regions) located close to well-dated speleothems with well-understood tracers

Reporting the Radiocarbon measurements

Table 2. Essential/Recommended/Desired metadata for reporting radiocarbon measurements
Metadata Essential (E)/Recommended(R)/Desired (D) Reason/Notes Added by (optional)
Chemical pretreatment/preparation E oxidation, chemical leach (%), a/b/a, soxhlet, ultrafiltration, none, etc Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
Method E GPC, LSC, AMS, etc Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
Laboratory ID# E eg. OS####; CAMS####; QUB#### Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
δ13C ratio actual/estimated (PDB/V-PDB) R Note, the AMS measured 13C has low precision (a few per mil, compared to IRMS). Most AMS labs do NOT report the machine measured 13C value because it is frequently misused. This should be estimated as per SP77 [6] or an IRMS-based value/estimate. Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
Conventional radiocarbon age as years BP E Note, that by definition, conventional radiocarbon age is the Libby based age. Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
one-sigma standard deviation E one-sigma standard deviation Deborah Khider (talk) 15:37, 15 March 2017 (PDT) on behalf of T Guilderson
F14C (13C and background correction applied) E This is slightly different than Stuiver and Polach [6] who have "D14C" as the optional parameter.
We suggest the inclusion of the background and d13C corrected Fraction modern (F14C) as it is the primary reported value.  In the past there has been some inconsistencies in the literature/laboratories with regards to fraction modern. By using/requesting F14C you will be explicitly requesting 13C and background corrected Fraction Modern (aka F14C, as per Reimer et al.[2004]) as intended by SP77.

Calibration or conversion to calibrated ages
As of present, the international radiocarbon community recommends the use of the INTCAL13 (aka Marine 13[8]) and SHCAL13 [9] data products. Calibration of post-bomb (post 1954/1957) samples should also include the calibration data-set utilized,  description/reference of any corrections applied, and the software/algorithm utilized to convert the F14C data to years AD.

U-series

Layer-counted chronologies

Comboul et al[10] argue that it is critical to report uncertainties in layer-counted chronologies, and that these can be expressed in terms of an undercounting and overcounting rate. However, there needs to be agreement about how to measure and report this rate for various archives.

Varves

Growth rings

Trees, corals, speleothems

Tree-rings typically provide an absolute chronology but there needs to be the facility to also work with 'floating' chronologies anchored typically by radiocarbon. A hybrid dendro-radiocarbon chronological framework should be supported.

Tree-rings data can also be stored at subannual level e.g. with early and latewood parameters. These are typically stored as two different data series as they are normally used to reconstruct different climatic parameters. In chronological terms these datasets represent portions of the year but precisely which portions depends on the species and location. In the southern hemisphere the earlywood will typically grow in the final months of the year and the latewood the first months of the following year. For paleoclimate reconstructions it's therefore essential to include metadata regarding the months each data point covers.

A convention that continues to cause confusion when representing dendrochronological data is the use of the astronomical calendar. The astronomical calendar includes the year 0 so matches the AD calendar, but is one year different in the BC period. Astronomical dates are easier to handle in statistical analyses but have been erroneously quoted as BC years in even some very prestigious articles. Whatever method is used, it should be clear and consistent.
