Team: Francisco Contreras, Carlos Lechuga and Martin Merino Objectives: 1) reproduce our previous best classification of the coasts of Mexico in terms of LOICZ’s objectives 2) try it with the world coastline
We chose three kind of proxies and the parameters that could work for each case: As runoff proxies:Precip, ann mean Runoff, annual mean * Basin Runoff Soil Carbonate C, As geomorphic proxies: CZ Bath/Elev, std dev of SS2 value Ocean Bath, mean SS2 value Land Elev, mean G30 value Land Elev, std dev of G30 values * Cell Landcover, % Water Basin Landcover, % Water As C, N, P, flux proxies: Soil Organic C, Cell Landcover, % Cropland * Cell Landcover, % Grassland Cell Landcover, % Urban and Built-up Population, 30' cell total Basin Landcover, % Cropland Basin Landcover, % Grassland Basin Landcover, % Urban and Built-up Basin Population
Results: 1) We could get a typology that reproduces our previous classification target 2) However, variability was still present within our types, as most were represented by cells of two clusters
