The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI)
Citable outputs of Oceans and Coasts: coastal risk atlas methods; marine dependency briefs; research cases.
GCRI · In development · service level R0
Oceans and Coasts publications are the platform's reviewed, citable outputs, such as coastal risk atlas methods, marine dependency briefs and research cases. Each carries its authors, date, method, evidence labels and editorial status, and a correction creates a new version with its history. Contributions to series such as Global Sector Risk and Resilience as well as Observatory Signal also appear in Nexus Reports.

Layers and dates
Ocean publications serve coastal planners and marine managers. They include coastal method notes and Observatory Signal notes on marine heatwaves or sea-level anomalies, always stating datum, baseline and scenario. They build on ocean science and Earth observation and on the ocean observation topic.
Ocean publications always state datum, baseline and scenario, and mark disputed maritime boundaries.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Version of record | The fixed version of a work that a publisher formally declares published; later changes appear as dated corrections or new versions, never as silent edits, in the sense NISO's journal article versions recommendation uses. |
| Peer review | Evaluation of a work by independent experts in the field before publication. |
| Correction | A published notice that amends an error in a work whose main findings stand. |
| Evidence label | A tag on an assertion naming the kind of evidence behind it, such as observed, officially reported or modelled. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
