Landscape domains and information surfaces: Data collection, recording and citation using decimal latitude‐longitude geolocation via the FAIR principles

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 2141-2151, 15 September 2023., 2023
I argue that a concise [decimal latitude,longitude] tuple form of geo‐referencing be used to identify landforms and sample sites, in data strings and image metadata. This form enables searching and information exchange from geomorphology into and beyond Critical Zone studies via the FAIR data principles: findability, accessibility, interoperability and
