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:

A dictionary with definitions from both experimentalists, observationalists, and modelers.
(Include math, figures, etc. as needed)

Types of data from experimental observations explained including how they are obtained. Methods are grouped by the process they investigate.

Types of models explained grouped by the scales they function at.

These pages contain definitions, limitations, context, and references.
They are populated by researchers, naming responsible authors for accountability and credit.

Webseries?

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