DESCRIBING THE WORLD'S GEOSCIENCE DATA CENTERS


DEIS, Louise, Library / GSIS, Princeton University, 105 Peter B. Lewis Library, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544

The world is shrinking – as well as melting -- and thanks to enormous strides in technology, we are able to share information much more readily. There is so much data, it is so right to organize and control it and make it available to all interested researchers. How else will we be able to peek over horizons? Presented will be overviews of major global geoscience data hubs focusing on atmospheric and oceanic sciences, climate change, geodynamics, geochemistry, and mineralogy. Descriptions will include repository sizes, data formats and access.
