If you were at the #IODP Town Hall last night at #AGU2019 and saw the acronym e-ODP, I'll explain:
eODP is an NSF- @EarthCube funded effort to, in simple terms, put ocean drilling stratigraphy (litho- & chrono-) into @UWMacrostrat and microfossils into @PaleoDB. But there's more!
eODP is an NSF- @EarthCube funded effort to, in simple terms, put ocean drilling stratigraphy (litho- & chrono-) into @UWMacrostrat and microfossils into @PaleoDB. But there's more!
eODP operates under the assumption that stratigraphy is the key data underlying ALL scientific ocean drilling data. The age and environmental setting for deposition is required to understand the context of other data we'd like to include in meta-analytical studies.
The @UWMacrostrat API allows other systems to utilize it's data (e.g., @flyovergeo) so the plan is to use it as a nexus for scientific ocean drilling data, augmenting the stratigraphic understanding with other data, using it like scaffolding to structure the other datasets.
Come learn about how permafrost thaw impacts ecosystems and communities at my #AGU2019 presentation. Tues, 8am, Moscone West - 3001, L3. Can't make it? No worries, follow this thread for an e-version of my talk!

@queenofpeat @forestecogrp Permafrost thaw in lowland environments happens in two ways. 1) Top down thaw that thickens the active layer, and 2) Abrupt thaw (pictured there) that thaws the entire soil column. As the climate warms rates of abrupt thaw will increase, but it is also increase due to wildfire.
@queenofpeat @forestecogrp We know from a study lead by @queenofpeat that abrupt thaw impacts <20% of permafrost soils, but impacts >50% of permafrost carbon. Does permafrost thaw therefore = big consequences for global carbon cycling?
