Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography Perspectives on Integrated,
Coordinated, Open, Networked (ICON) Science
Abstract
This article is composed of three independent commentaries about the
state of ICON principles (Goldman et al., 2021) in the AGU section
Paleoclimatology and Paleoceanography (P&P), and a discussion on the
opportunities and challenges of adopting them. Each commentary focuses
on a different topic: (Section 2) Global collaboration, technology
transfer and application, reproducibility, and data sharing and
infrastructure; (Section 3) Local knowledge, global gain: improving
interactions within the scientific community and with locals, indigenous
communities, stakeholders, and the public; (Section 4) Field,
experimental, remote sensing, and real-time data research and
application.P&P projects can better include ICON principles by directly
incorporating them into research proposals. A promising way to overcome
the challenges of interdisciplinarity and integration is to foster
networking, which will advance our research discipline through the
application of ICON.
