&lt;div&gt;[[Category:Working Group]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
In the Linked Earth context, a [[:Category:Working_Group|working group]] (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts, whose activities are governed [[:Category:Working_Group|herewith]]. This page is dedicated to the discussion of data and metadata standards for [[:Category:Speleothem | speleothems]], and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Membership ==&lt;br /&gt;
__MEMBERS__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Specific tasks ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We recommend that discussions focus on the following techniques, and explore potential commonalities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For each observation type, we recommend:&lt;br /&gt;
* structuring discussions around what scientific questions one would want to ask of the data&lt;br /&gt;
* listing essential, recommended, and optional information for:&lt;br /&gt;
** the measurements themselves&lt;br /&gt;
** any inference made from the measurements (e.g. calibration to temperature)&lt;br /&gt;
** the underlying uncertainties, and what those numbers correspond to (e.g. 1-sigma or 2-sigma?)&lt;br /&gt;
* provide an '''ideal data table''' (or [[Cyrstal2013.paleo1measurement1 | link to one]]) for each type of observation, so the community knows what to report and how to report it.&lt;br /&gt;
* provide separate recommendations for new and legacy datasets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Things to describe ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Site (cave) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Site name&lt;br /&gt;
* Coordinates&lt;br /&gt;
* Elevation&lt;br /&gt;
* Geology&lt;br /&gt;
* Rock Age&lt;br /&gt;
* Have measurements been made of the cave environment over a season or several years (not one off)? Yes/No&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Entity (speleothem) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Entity name&lt;br /&gt;
* Distance from cave entrance (in m)&lt;br /&gt;
* Thickness of overlying bedrock above the speleothem (in m)&lt;br /&gt;
* Speleothem type (candlestick stalagmite, stalagmite boss, flowstone)&lt;br /&gt;
* Drip type (seepage, seasonal, mixture, unknown)&lt;br /&gt;
* Type of measurements available for that entity (stable isotopes, trace metals, organics, fluid inclusions, mineralogy, clumped isotopes, noble gas temperatures, C14, Optical Density of luminosity (ODL), Mg/Ca)&lt;br /&gt;
* DOI/link for raw data (e.g NOAA, PANGAEA)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== References (for each speleothem) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Citation&lt;br /&gt;
* DOI &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Chronology ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please see the [[:Category:Chronologies_Working_Group| chronologies WG]] for generalities about U/Th dating or layer-counting.&lt;br /&gt;
If challenges specific to dating speleothems exist, please list relevant metadata properties below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Date type (MC-ICP-MS, Alpha U/Th, U/Th TIMS, Annual laminations, cross-dating, c14)&lt;br /&gt;
* Depth of the sample (in mm)&lt;br /&gt;
* Thickness of the sample (in mm)&lt;br /&gt;
* lab number&lt;br /&gt;
* sample material dated (aragonite powder, calcite)&lt;br /&gt;
* min/max weight of sample used for dating&lt;br /&gt;
* Is date used in the original age model? Yes/No&lt;br /&gt;
* For U/Th samples: uncorrected age, 238U content, 232Th content, 230Th content, 230Th/232Th ratio, 230th/238U activity, decay constants used, corrected age, year of chemistry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Age models ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Age model type (linear between dates, polynomial fit, polynomial fit omitting outliers, bayesian, stalAge...)&lt;br /&gt;
* For age models based in lamina counting, evidence that laminae are annual&lt;br /&gt;
* For age models using C14 for deposition rate, evidence on robustness of assumed linearity&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sample data ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Distance from top of speleothem&lt;br /&gt;
* Thickness of analysed sample&lt;br /&gt;
* Evidence of equilibrium (Hendy tests)&lt;br /&gt;
* Year (with uncertainty)&lt;br /&gt;
* Measurements with precision&lt;br /&gt;
* Isotope standards (PDB, VPDB)&lt;br /&gt;
* Correction made for aragonite?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Modern Cave Conditions ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The interpretation of geochemical or lithological signals embedded in speleothem archives relies sometimes heavily on implicit assumptions about cave hydrology.&lt;br /&gt;
What parameters need to be archived to enable long-term re-use and better information extraction from speleothem datasets?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Above-Cave&lt;br /&gt;
* soil thickness&lt;br /&gt;
* vegetation type&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In-Karst Hydrology&lt;br /&gt;
* karst residence time&lt;br /&gt;
* transit time distributions&lt;br /&gt;
* porosity&lt;br /&gt;
* rock overburden thickness&lt;br /&gt;
* flow route type&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In-Cave&lt;br /&gt;
* Temperature&lt;br /&gt;
* Humidity&lt;br /&gt;
* pCO2&lt;br /&gt;
* drip-rate&lt;br /&gt;
* drip chemistry&lt;br /&gt;
