“…There was agreement across articles that engaging with local communities was an important mechanism aligned with ICON principles, particularly “Networked,” that is needed to uphold the societal value for science. The ICON Collection's Hydrology and GeoHealth articles both note the importance of engaging the public interest in critical issues of local interest like water quality (Acharya et al., 2021; Barnard et al., 2021). The Collection's Biogeosciences article encourages the adoption of “people‐centric” approaches to build research capacity, understand cultural nuances, and promote research community engagement with open fair research practices (Dwivedi et al., 2021).…”

“…In the GeoHealth article, Barnard et al (2021) highlight the importance of valuing the expertise of local leadership and communities in an effort to strengthen scientific arguments. In the Biogeosciences article, Dwivedi et al (2021) suggest that a key challenge to networked efforts are the international cultural differences and resource variances that can cause the contributions of researchers in low-income and under-resourced countries to be undervalued or diminished.…”

This article serves as the introduction to a special collection of commentary articles titled "The Power of Many: Opportunities and Challenges of Integrated, Coordinated, Open, and Networked (ICON) Science to Advance Geosciences". The ICON Collection is intended to be a resource for researchers across disciplines who are interested in intentionally doing science following a framework referred to as the ICON principles. To maximize its applicability across geoscience disciplines, the ICON Collection was designed to include one article from each of the 25 American Geophysical Union (AGU) section disciplines, and to date, 19 sections have articles prepared for submission to the Collection. This article (a) provides an overview of the ICON principles; (b) discusses the

“…While the GeoHealth field promotes integrated science, there is a need to improve efforts to produce open science to ensure environmental justice (Barnard et al., 2022 ). Adopting open science strategies such as ICON (Integrated, Coordinated Open Network) throughout the research lifecycle helps alleviate this environmental injustice problem to an extent by empowering populations that are disproportionately marginalized (Acharya et al., 2022 ; Arora et al., 2022 ; Barnard et al., 2022 ; Dwivedi et al., 2022 ; Salman et al., 2022 ; Sharma et al., 2022 ). ICON science principles aim to (a) integrate science across physical, chemical, biological, and social attributes; (b) coordinate the use of consistent protocols across systems and researchers; (c) provide for an open exchange of ideas, data, and models throughout the research lifecycle, and (d) create a platform for multiple stakeholders to network (Barnard et al., 2022 ; Goldman et al., 2022 ).…”

Chemical Toxicants in Water: A GeoHealth Perspective in the Context of Climate Change

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The editorial focuses on four major themes contextualized in a virtual GeoHealth workshop that occurred from June 14 to 16, 2021. Topics in that workshop included drinking water and chronic chemical exposure, environmental injustice, public health and drinking water policy, and the fate, transport, and human impact of aqueous contaminants in the context of climate change. The intent of the workshop was to further define the field of GeoHealth . This workshop emphasized on chemical toxicants that drive human health. The major calls for action emerged from the workshop include enhancing community engagement, advocating for equity and justice, and training the next generation.

The sciences struggle to integrate across disciplines, coordinate across data generation and modeling activities, produce connected open data, and build strong networks to engage stakeholders within and beyond the scientific community. The American Geophysical Union (AGU) is divided into 25 sections intended to encompass the breadth of the geosciences. Here, we introduce a special collection of commentary articles spanning 19 AGU sections on challenges and opportunities associated with the use of ICON science principles. These principles focus on research intentionally designed to be Integrated, Coordinated, Open, and Networked (ICON) with the goal of maximizing mutual benefit (among stakeholders) and cross-system transferability of science outcomes. This article 1) summarizes the ICON principles; 2) discusses the crowdsourced approach to creating the collection; 3) explores insights from across the articles; and 4) proposes steps forward. There were common themes among the commentary articles, including broad agreement that the benefits of using ICON principles outweigh the costs, but that using ICON principles has important risks that need to be understood and mitigated. It was also clear that the ICON principles are not monolithic or static, but should instead be considered a heuristic tool that can and should be modified to meet changing needs. As a whole, the collection is intended as a resource for scientists pursuing ICON science and represents an important inflection point in which the geosciences community has come together to offer insights into ICON principles as a unified approach for improving how science is done across the geosciences and beyond.
