The goal of topic categories are to associate rather than isolate information.  There are many approaches to categorizing information--here is how we currently do it.
The goal of topic categories are to associate rather than isolate information.  In general subject matter is divided into six areas:  *[[:category:biology|Biology]] - topics concerned with living organisms
*[[:category:chemistry:Chemistry]] - topics focused on the behavior or specific compounds and chemicals
*[[:category:climate change|Climate Change]] - topics related to human caused climate modification
*[[:category:physical science|Physical Sciences]] - topics concerned with the physical processes in the environment
*[[:category:social science|Social Sciences]] - topics concerned with the dynamics of human systems
*[[:category:development|Development]] - topics that consider how humans modify the environment to develop certain services


There are sub-categories for each of these that have been added to reflect the addition of a body of [[documents]] and pages to the wiki.

Topic pages provide a place for citation, synthesis and discussion of evidence and concepts. We expect these pages to be edited by multiple users--if you want to control information on a topic, publish a document.

Suggestions

  • Start by lumping pages. If page information becomes to dense or extensive, than split off information into sub-topics.
  • Initial topic pages may begin with bullet notes--no narrative is necessary--get information in circulation.
  • Avoid removing information provided by others, but rather organize information into a structure so that conflicting sources of evidence are presented together, and evidence is organized from most general to more specific.
  • watch topic pages of interest.

Topic Categories

The goal of topic categories are to associate rather than isolate information. In general subject matter is divided into six areas: *Biology - topics concerned with living organisms

There are sub-categories for each of these that have been added to reflect the addition of a body of documents and pages to the wiki.

Topic Pages (except River Delta)

River Delta Topic Pages

The ESRP program has been leading topic page development as part of its River Delta Adaptive Management Strategy.

Topics Describing Critical Delta Dynamics High Uncertainty Topics for Adaptive Management
Delta hydrodynamics and channels
Delta sediment dynamics and vegetation
Delta biodiversity and food webs
Delta utilization by salmon
Delta social dynamics
Delta flood and drainage
