kdchadwick.github.io

Personal research site for K. Dana Chadwick, hosted with GitHub Pages at https://kdchadwick.github.io.

Structure

File	Purpose
index.html	Home: bio, research threads, current roles, news
research.html	Missions, campaigns, and landscape biogeochemistry research
community.html	Open science, mentorship, and open positions
publications.html	Generated. Papers, datasets, software, reports
tools/	The publications generator and its config
assets/css/site.css	The entire stylesheet. No build step, no JavaScript.
images/	Photographs and figures
papers/	CV and PDFs of selected papers

Static HTML and one hand-written stylesheet — no framework, no jQuery, no build pipeline. Edit the HTML directly and push to master; GitHub Pages serves it.

Updating

• CV: drop the new PDF in papers/ and update the four papers/KDChadwick_CV_*.pdf links (nav and footer on each page, plus two in the home page hero and roles section).

• News: add an <article class="news-item"> block at the top of the news list in index.html.

• Open positions: edit the two cards under #opportunities in community.html, and the matching news item and hero line in index.html. Remove all three when the postings close.

• Publications: do not edit publications.html by hand. It is generated from the ORCID record:

  python3 tools/build_publications.py
  

  ORCID is the source of truth. When a new paper or dataset appears, add it to ORCID (Works > Add > Search & link, or by DOI), re-run the script, and commit the result. The script pulls full author lists and titles from Crossref and DataCite, so nothing is typed twice.

  tools/publications_config.json holds the local rules:

  Key	Purpose
  extra_dois	Works not yet in ORCID. Add the DOI to ORCID, then delete it here; the script says which entries have become redundant.
  exclude_dois	Preprints superseded by a published version, and duplicate registrations.
  mentees	Surnames that get an asterisk.
  pdfs	Local PDF copies in papers/, keyed by DOI.
  manual	Entries with no DOI (books, agency reports).

  Useful flags: --dry-run reports what would change without writing, --offline rebuilds from the cached API responses, --refresh discards the cache and refetches. Responses are cached in tools/.cache/, which is not committed.

The site is light/dark aware via prefers-color-scheme; colors live as custom properties at the top of site.css.
