Description:
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, communication, serving, and visualization of geochemical data, and their integration with other geological, geochronological, geophysical, and geodetic information to maximize their scientific and educational application.
