Paleomagnetic Databases- Update 2001-2004

Opdyke EAR-0003374新标题：“2001年至2002年古地磁数据库的更新”。该合同将用于继续维护和更新众多古地磁数据库。在这两年期间，古地磁数据库的更新处于过渡阶段。迈克尔·麦克尔欣尼博士即将退休，并将这项任务交给了西澳大利亚州珀斯市西澳大利亚大学构造特别研究中心的谢尔盖·皮萨列夫斯基博士。尽管Pisarevsky博士精通数据库，包括其设计和操作，但McElhinny博士已同意在这一过渡阶段担任监督角色。目前，这些数据库是在MS Access 97或MS Access 2000下建立的。目前将继续这样做，但正在根据新的地球信息学和地球科学部门正在开发的其他数据库倡议，研究使用更现代化的数据库系统的可能性。到目前为止，数据库每年更新一次，但现在将每六个月更新一次。最新情况将通过挪威地质调查局的网站立即出现在网站上，这是过去三年来一直提供的最新情况。事实上，就全球古地磁数据库(GPMDB)而言，该网站是目前大多数用户访问该数据库的方式。下列数据库将自动更新：GPMDB--全球古地磁方向和极位置数据库--MAGST--世界磁性地层学数据库。PSVRL-过去5个月熔岩的古分子变异。以下数据库在很大程度上依赖于研究人员提交他们的数据，因为出版物中往往没有给出细节。SECVR-来自湖泊沉积物和全新世沉积的长期变化。这些数据从来没有详细公布过(只给出了偏角和倾角随时间变化的曲线图。目前，这个数据库拥有目前能获得的尽可能多的数据。许多研究人员没有回应索取他们数据的请求。转换冲销转换数据库。熔岩序列的逆转转变发表在文献全文中，熔岩流通过熔岩流。然而，在沉积层序中观察到的转变并没有逐层详细给出，同样必须从作者那里获得。这个数据库是最新的，尽可能详细地获得这些沉积记录。以下数据库由其他人编辑和更新：品脱-全球古强度数据库。这是由法国蒙彼利埃大学的Mireille Perrin博士汇编和更新的。太古宙-太古地磁数据库。这是由英国南安普顿大学的唐·塔林博士汇编和更新的。

Opdyke EAR-0003374 New Title: "Update of Paleomagnetic Databases for the years 2001-2002". This award will fund continued maintainance and updating of numerous paleomagnetic databases. The update of the paleomagnetic databases is in a transitional phase during this two-year period. Dr Michael McElhinny is retiring and has handed over this task to Dr Sergei Pisarevsky at the Tectonics Special Research Centre, University of Western Australia, Perth, Western Australia. Although Dr Pisarevsky is well-versed in databases, including their design and operation, Dr McElhinny has agreed to act in a supervisory capacity during this transitional phase. At the present time the databases are set up under either MS Access 97 or MS Access 2000. This will be continued for the present, but the possibility that a more modern database system could be used is being investigated under the new Geoinformatics and other database initiatives being developed in the Geosciences. Until now the databases have been updated annually, but this will now be undertaken every six months. Updates will appear immediately on the web through the web-site at the Geological Survey of Norway as has been available for updates over the past three years. Indeed as far as the Global Paleomagnetic Database (GPMDB) is concerned this web-site is the way in which most users currently access the database. The following databases will be automatically updated: GPMDB - Global Paleomagnetic Database for directions and pole positions MAGST- World-wide Database for magnetostratigraphy. PSVRL - Paleosecular Variation from Lavas for the past 5 Myr. The following databases rely heavily on researchers sending in their data, since the details are often not given in publications. SECVR - Secular Variation from Lake sediments and Holocene deposits. These data are never published in detail (only plots of Declination and Inclination versus Time are given. At present this database has as much data as can currently be obtained. Many researchers have not responded to requests for their data. TRANS - Reversals transitions database. Reversal transitions from lava sequences are published in the literature in full, lava flow by lava flow. However, transitions observed in sedimentary sequences are not given in detail horizon by horizon and again must be obtained from authors. This database is up to date as far as has been possible to get these sedimentary records in detail. The following databases are compiled and updated by others: PINT - Global Paleointensity Database. This is compiled and updated by Dr Mireille Perrin at the University of Montpellier, France. ARCHEO - Archeomagnetic Database. This is compiled and updated by Dr Don Tarling at the University of Southampton, UK.
