Earthchem - Advancing Data Management for Solid Earth Geochemistry

PROJECT MANAGEMENT : Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) and the University of Kansas, executed cooperatively with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the Kansas Geological Survey.

DESCRIPTIONS: The EarthChem consortium is a collaborative effort of major geochemical database projects (PetDB, GEOROC, NAVDAT, SedDB) to address the needs of the larger earth science community for advanced and integrated management of geochemical data in a collaborative and coordinated fashion. EarthChem aims to facilitate the compilation, commsunication, serving, and visualization of geochemical data, and their integration with other geological, geochronological, geophysical, and geodetic information to maximize their scientific and educational application.
