What is LinkedEarth?

• Current Features (NSF Geoinformatics):
• GUI to create and edit LiPD files
• Validation for various repos
• Recommender system
• What’s next (NSF EarthCube):
• Edit record and send them back to Python environment directly

LiPD Playground

• Current Features (NSF Geoinformatics):
• Access to thousands of curated LiPD files and many compilations
• Version control
• Cloud data access for workflows
• What’s next:
• Website redesign
• Tutorial blogs
• Querying from R and python

LiPDverse

Paleoclimate Data Standards

• Standard format:
• LiPD: McKay & Emile-Geay [2016]
• see demo on playground and LiPDverse
• Standard terminology (NSF EarthCube):
• Linked Earth Ontology (LEO)
• Reporting standards (NSF EarthCube):
• PaleoClimate Reporting Standard (PaCTS): v1.0 published in Khider et al. [2019]

​

What’s next?

• Ongoing community discussion on Discourse.
• Aligning LiPD fields to the PaST Thesaurus.

​

Computational Narratives

• Gallery of Jupyter Notebooks that will be fully executable in the cloud

​

​

NEW!

Computational Narratives

• Gallery of Jupyter Notebooks that will be fully executable in the cloud.
• Focus on paleoclimate model/data comparison in the time and frequency domain.
• Have your own cloud workspace (2i2c), close to the public data (select PMIP runs) and pre-loaded with relevant Python libraries.
• All you need is a GitHub account

NEW!

Paleoclimate Reconstruction

Storehouse (PReSto)

A one-stop shop for paleoclimate field and index reconstructions.

• Reconstructions are regularly and automatically updated
• Visualize and download existing reconstructions
• Make your own reconstructions:
• Pull from established compilations (e.g. PAGES 2k, Temp-12k)
• Use established algorithms (e.g. LMR, GraphEM)
• Incorporate your own data and/or methods
