Category:Floods Working Group

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 Inferred Variables for floods, and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard and a common classification used across all kind of proxy types. It will be closely linked to the hydrology class.

Flood estimations can be derived from various archive types, like

* Lake Sediments
* Fluvial Sediments
* Marine Sediments
* Speleothems
* Trees
* Historical Documents
* ...

so this data standard will also be a special subgroup of the Cross_Archive_Metadata Cross Archive Metadata, standardizing Inferred Variables.
