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 MARPA (marine annually-resolved proxy archives), 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 of 'MARPA Working Group'
This working group has 7 members.
Specific tasks
We recommend that discussions focus on the following techniques, and explore potential commonalities.
For each chronology type, we recommend:
- structuring discussions around what scientific questions one would want to ask of the data
- listing essential, recommended, and optional information for:
- the measurements themselves
- any inference made from the measurements (e.g. calibration to temperature)
- the underlying uncertainties, and what those numbers correspond to (e.g. 1-sigma or 2-sigma?)
- provide an ideal data table for each type of observation, so the community knows what to report and how to report it.
- provide separate recommendations for new and legacy datasets
Sub-groups
Corals
observations to describe:
- stable isotopes
- radiocarbon
- trace metals
Sclerosponges
Mollusks
Polls
Here are polls that the group might want to consider:
