Collaborative Research: Geo-Visualization and Data Analysis using the Magnetics Information Consortium

MagIC （Magnetics Information Consortium）项目的目标是为岩石和古地磁数据开发一个开放的社区数字数据档案，并提供门户网站，允许用户免费访问存档、搜索和下载各种格式的数据。该项目的一部分工作是将在国际地磁和航空协会（地磁和航空协会）主持下开发的现有数据库过渡到新的档案。该合同为继续开发和维护MagIC设施以及继续集成PI？与其他在线数据库合作的努力。pi们相信，在一个单一的在线数据库中访问所有磁数据，并能够与其他学科的数据连接起来，将从根本上改变岩石和古地磁数据对当今地球科学的贡献方式。在此资助期内，pi将实现与GPlates和IODP以及EarthChem和Geochron等计划的增强互操作性，以提供对存储在MagIC中的样品数据的互补地球化学信息和辐射年龄的无缝访问。所有这些都将通过使用唯一的IGSN样本号来完成。

The goals of the MagIC (Magnetics Information Consortium) project have been to develop an open community digital data archive for rock and paleomagnetic data with web portals that allow users free access to archive, search and download data in a broad range of formats. Part of the project has involved the transition of existing databases developed under the auspices of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) to the new archive. This award provides funds for the continued development and maintenance of the MagIC facility and for continued integration of the PI?s efforts to operate with other online databases. The PIs believe that access to all magnetic data in a single online data-base and the capacity to link up with data from other disciplines, will radically change the way rock and paleomagnetic data contribute to Earth sciences today. In this funding period the PIs will implement enhanced interoperability with GPlates and IODP and also with initiatives like EarthChem and Geochron, to provide seamless access to complementary geochemistry information and radiometric ages on the sample data stored in MagIC. All this will be accomplished through the use of unique IGSN sample numbers.
