Ringing in 2018 with LinkedEarth!
Deborah Khider
Greetings and happy 2018 from the LinkedEarth team! Let’s start with a review of our AGU activities. I gave an (invited) talk “LinkedEarth and 21st century paleoclimatology: reducing data friction through standard development.” in a geoinformatics session. You can find the abstract here and you can download the presentation from figshare. The […]
LiPD vs LinkedEarth
Deborah Khider
AGU brought its own share of (welcome!) community feedback. Among them is the lingering confusion surrounding the difference between LiPD and LinkedEarth and I hope this blog post will clarify it. LiPD (pronounce: lipid) stands for Linked Paleo Data, a self-describing, machine-independent data format created by Nick McKay and Julien Emile-Geay […]

Doing Science with LinkedEarth
Deborah Khider
My last task as a PhD student at USC was to generate a record of Holocene sea surface and deep ocean temperature and salinity variability within the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool. As a geochemist, I spent hours in the lab picking foraminifera, cleaning them, and performing isotopes and trace metal analyses. I […]
Why should you invest in us?
Julien Emile-Geay
Greetings all, It has been a minute. LinkedEarth has been quite active these past few months, with the release of the first paleoclimate ontology, an initial framework for paleo data standards, constant updates to the wiki, and writing much open code to make use of wiki-hosted data : LiPD utilities, […]

Death by proxy
Julien Emile-Geay
When LinkedEarth debuted last September, we knew that a strange beast called “ontology” would be involved, but it seemed very abstract. Nearly a year into it, we’ve already been through several versions of the LinkedEarth ontology, and all the paleoclimatologists on the team (Deborah, Nick and I) have had to […]
LinkedEarth: coming soon to your institution
Deborah Khider
Did the posts about the origins of LinkedEarth and “what is it, what it is not?” arouse your interest about the project? Are you still struggling to see how it might help your research or that of your colleagues? Luckily, EarthCube has a proverbial app for that. I can come to your institution to talk […]
LinkedEarth: what is it, what it is not.
Julien Emile-Geay
We have a lot of ideas for LinkedEarth. Since not everyone lives in our head, in this post I’ll lay out in plain terms what this project is about. LinkedEarth is: a platform to crowd-curate paleoclimate data. Our experience with the PAGES2k project is that the lack of such cyberinfrastructure has wasted […]
