Aims & Goals

PalEON has a lot of moving parts: many people, many projects. The goal of this wiki is to facilitate research coordination within PalEON. This wiki and its subpages are interactive documents that allow users to post progress updates for various projects, create links among projects, develop proposals within the PalEON domain, complete established projects, deposit and store finished products and access and update public data.

This wiki is open to PalEON participants and a login is required. The public PalEON website is located at: http://www.paleonproject.org

  • October 11 - 12, 2011: PalEON Settlement Vegetation Workshop (Madison, WI): A meeting to connect modelers, statisticians and historical ecologists and to facilitate the use of the Public Lands Survey, Township Surveys and General Land Office surveys. Minutes and Summaries here.
  • September 23, Jason McLachlan's Lab visits Jack William's and David Mladenoff's labs. Settlement vegetation conference call with Jun and Chris (Notes forthcoming).
  • August 30, 11AM (eastern): Tree-Ring Skype call (Notes forthcoming).
  • August 17, 2pm Eastern: Teleconference for Settlement Vegetation (Western briefing notes here)
  • ESA 2011: A lot of interest in PalEON demonstrated there. Jason McLachlan's 8/9 Tuesday talk in the NEON symposium filled the room. The Wednesday night PalEON open meeting was well attended by the paleo-data community, and the discussion and response was favorable. The general mood was excitement and the feeling that this is the next step to take.

Upcoming Events

Sections

People

This section is the repository for information about individual members of the PalEON project. Not only will this link to a brief biography, but it will also provide links to the projects, proposals, data and products that the individual is associated with. We welcome all Participants to begin editing their own page. The Administrators (Simon Goring and Bjorn Brooks) will also take care to ensure that the pages are kept up to date as much as possible. The PalEON postdocs (Simon Goring, Zuofong Shang, and Bjorn Brooks)'s Project Journals of their project activities (like a notebook) can be found here.


Projects

This section is for currently active projects within PalEON Phase 1. It should include a brief introduction for the page/project and any living documents intended for publication or dissemination. These pages are also intended for discussion among members. Are there data needs that another section/project can fulfill? Are there synergies, conflicts? Check out the project page, the discussion pages and any linked documents.

Proposals

This section is intended to be the site for great ideas you may have that could be accomplished in PalEON2.0, or with others outside the PalEON domain. For each new project you can link to personnel that may be interested in the proposal, projects that might feed into the proposal and data that might be useful. Use it as a sandbox for upcoming work, to brainstorm or to develop independent research.

Products

This section will be filled once we get papers and other products out of the PalEON project. Please be sure to link back any papers published through PalEON, any PowerPoint presentations or posters you deliver, or any related academic documents so that we can maintain a repository for the project.

Public Data

Public Data is for anything that may be of use to the PalEON community that can be actively shared. Please respect data use agreements. We will establish a formal data use policy that will be posted in this section. Public data was the best 'P' word I could come up with. If you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.
