The expected scientific contributions and breakthroughs are 1) a full integration and intercalibration of different numerical dating techniques, leading to 2) a significant improvement in the consistency of these same techniques 3) progress towards a fully integrated and astronomical-tuned GTS over the last 100 million years 4) an essentially stable time scale that is highly beneficial for both academia and industry, and 5) new insights in key geological processes including climate change, catastrophic impacts, and volcanic hazards. Leading the quest for increasing accuracy is the international EARTHTIME project, the brainchild of Sam Bowring, a geologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. It is our ambition to broaden the Earthtime platform in Europe with GTSnext, which combined with an ESF funded Research Network run in parallel, will also serve as the basis for wider outreach towards the Earth Science community. GTSnext is part of a broader international initiative - EARTHTIME - a community-based scientific effort aimed at sequencing Earth history through an integrated geochronologic and stratigraphic approach. Together this team of newly trained scientists is well equipped to construct the new GTS. This training is the prime objective of GTSnext, and crucial to its success. Within GTSnext a consortium of world leading European experts will be brought together for the first time to integrate their expertise and provide young scientists with a top training in all these methods. Recent developments in numerical dating now permit to build a much improved next generation GTS for the last 100 million years by integrating independent state-of-the-art techniques this time scale will have an unprecedented accuracy, precision, resolution and stability. As such the GTS is the key to reconstruct Earth history. By showing the results of our past decisions with visual evidence through time, we create the scaffolding that supports positive future decision-making. Geological time is inextricably linked with Earth Sciences and the Geological Time Scale (GTS) is the yardstick to measure it. EarthTime is underpinned by CREATE Lab's vision to promote data literacy, inspire meaningful dialogue, and democratize access to data for everyone in an inclusive and transparent way.
