Moving the Geologic Time Scale (GTS) into an Open Science Ecosystem
Co-organized by GMPV12
Convener: Bradley Cramer | Co-conveners: Anne-Christine Da Silva, Robin TraylerECSECS, Mark Schmitz

The Geological Time Scale (GTS) is the result of centuries of observation, curation, and quantification of the stratigraphic record. The forthcoming iteration of the GTS, GTS2030, aims to begin the process of moving the GTS towards a broader audience, connecting domain scientists, data resources, and community organizations to develop a new modality of open science GTS construction. This session invites geochronologists, paleontologists, stratigraphers, astrochronologists, age modelers, data scientists, programmers, users of the Geologic Time Scale, anyone else interested in the next iteration of the GTS to submit an abstract. Best practices for open science, FAIR data system for the GTS are also welcome.
This session is organized by the International Subcommission on Timescale Calibration (ISTC) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS).
