Welcome to Ocepedia

Marine biogeochemistry needs a shared vocabulary between experimentalists and modelers for cross-disciplinary work to advance the field. Written output can highlight cross-discipline implications:
What data was particularly helpful to inform a model?
How can an experimentalist capitalize on a model to constrain parameter spaces?
Yet, to integrate disciplines successfully, researchers need to be vocal about discrepancy and uncertainty, and realize caveats of how values are determined (via any of the three categories of work).

Ocepedia is set up as an encyclopedia to bride disciplines of marine biogeochemistry, and consists of three main components:

Webseries?

Videos to compliment the dictionary
5 - 20 minute discussion on a topic by a BGS expert
Ideally, someone to coordinate this

-Marine biogeochemistry is lacking a shared vocabulary between experimentalists and modelers, despite cross-disciplinary work having become key to advancing the field. Written output can highlight cross-discipline implications: What data was particularly helpful?; What methods were appreciated?; and How can other groups progress the work?; E.g., how an experimentalist may capitalize on a model. Yet, to integrate disciplines successfully, researchers need to be vocal about discrepancy and uncertainty, and realize caveats of how values are determined (via any of the three categories of work).
