All about indicators and assessment systems ...
This could evolve into a place where I document knowledge, advice and links for everyone interested in indicator development in the field of marine waters and marine ecosystems and ecology. Let's see how this will work out! I have started to write an expanded abstract of the presentation which will slowly evolve into at least an article-lenth text (even a book-like ... who knows). Read my initial text here:
PDF of expanded abstract/initial article
(markdown source file for the article)
Feel free to comment on this either by mail or using the github 'issues' in the toolbar above (will be quite nerdy for the coding-unaware, but worth a try :-)
For now, there is also the presentation file itself, the abstract and a list of references I used in my presentation at the workshop (see below).
You may want to visit my page on researchgate where you can find more papers and references.
