Coordination Funds

DFG Forschergruppe(For)1644 Charon将来自德国和奥地利五所大学和研究机构的科学家以及德国、英国、瑞士和澳大利亚的合作伙伴联系在一起。Charon的首要目标是改进对地球(主要是海洋)生物成因和非生物成因碳酸盐档案的替代数据的评估和质量。这包括研究影响非生物成因碳酸盐成核和生长的参数，以及目的是提出碳酸盐成岩路径的定量和面向过程的观点。在第二阶段，位于波鸿的For 1644 Charon的中央项目(Zentralprojekt/Koorationsprojekt=ZP0)继续开展后勤和科学工作。后勤职责包括协调Charon内部的工作流程，提供核心分析设施、样本材料以及实验和实地数据，组织和协调会议和讲习班，组织和协调中央数字数据档案，以及维护网页。ZP0将继续为所有相关合作伙伴提供中央分析设施。这一基础设施是在第一阶段期间建造和改进的，需要维护和更新，但在第二阶段投入大大减少。相反，联合热液蚀变实验(GRAZ，TP1和Bochum，ZP0)产生的科学任务要求ZP0更加注重科学。我们对这些问题的回应是提出一个涉及几个项目的重组计划。我们还礼貌地要求在第二阶段为工作人员提供调整后的资金。建议在第二阶段接近尾声时，所有参与的合作伙伴的选定论文将在社会开放获取期刊的特刊上发表。

The DFG Forschergruppe (FOR) 1644 CHARON links scientists from five universities and research institutes in Germany and Austria as well as collaborative partners in Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Australia. The overarching aim of CHARON is to improve the assessment and quality of proxy data from (mainly marine) biogenic and abiogenic carbonate archives of Planet Earth. This includes research on parameters affecting abiogenic carbonate nucleation and growth as well as the aim to come up with a quantitative and process-oriented view on carbonate diagenetic pathways. During phase II, the central project (Zentralprojekt/Koordinationsprojekt = ZP0) of FOR 1644 CHARON at Bochum continues work with a dual logistical and scientific task. Logistical duties include coordinating the workflow within CHARON by providing core analytical facilities, sample material and experimental and field data, by organizing and coordinating meetings and workshops, by organizing and coordinating the central digital data archive, and by maintaining the webpage. ZP0 will continue to offer central analytical facilities to all involved partners. This infrastructure has been built and refined during phase I and requires maintenance and updating but significantly less input during phase II. Conversely, the scientific tasks resulting from joint hydrothermal alteration experiments (Graz, TP1 and Bochum, ZP0) request more scientific focus of ZP0. We respond to these issues by proposing a restructured scheme involving several projects. We also politely request an adapted funding for staff during phase II. It is proposed that, towards the end of phase II, selected papers of all involved partners are published in a special issue of a society Open Access journal.
