PaCTS, PAGES and paleodata

Details
Published: Thursday, 05 September 2019 12:16

palo.v34.7.coverThe first version of a crowdsourced reporting standard for paleoclimate data has been discussed in a new Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology paper.

PAGES involvement, via our working groups and workshops, in the Paleoclimate Community reporTing Standards (PaCTS) project is highlighted in the "PaCTS 1.0: A Crowdsourced Reporting Standard for Paleoclimate Data" paper, written by Deborah Khider et al.

PaCTS captures which information should be included when reporting paleoclimate data, with the goal of maximizing the reuse value of paleoclimate datasets, particularly for synthesis work and comparison to climate model simulations. Initiated by the LinkedEarth project, the process to elicit a reporting standard involved an international workshop in 2016, various forms of digital community engagement over the next few years, and grassroots working groups.

PaCTS addresses the acute need for standardizing paleoclimate datasets to minimize "data wrangling", which is estimated to consume up to 80% of researcher time in some scientific fields.

The standards help meet the interoperability and reuse criteria and of FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable), of which PAGES is an early signatory.

clipartbest.com-team 300x204Does your heart pound for paleoscience? Know others who feel the same?

Propose a new PAGES' working group to address a scientific question in an internationally coordinated way. The application deadline is 24 October 2019 at 17:00 UTC.

You must contact a member of the PAGES Scientific Steering Committee to discuss your plans at least two weeks before you submit the proposal.​ Applications received without SSC member notification will not be looked upon favorably.

European summer droughts

Details
Published: Wednesday, 31 July 2019 15:23

euro med2k fig erl 19Researchers from the PAGES 2k Network Euro-Med2k subgroup have published a paper on the association between summer temperature and drought across Europe over both short and long timescales.

Placing recent drought in a 12-century-long perspective, authors identified that throughout history northern Europe tends to get wetter and southern Europe tends to get drier during warmer periods. They also observe that recent changes in drought patterns are not yet unprecedented.

Project leader Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist said these new findings are important as we are able to see for the first time that the relationship between summer temperature and drought seen in modern instrumental measurements has persisted for at least 12 centuries. "We can also see that the 20th century wetter trend in the north and drier trend in the south is not unprecedented over this time perspective," he said.
