Geochemical Earth Reference Model (GERM)
Chemical characterization of the Earth, its major reservoirs and the fluxes between them.
RESERVOIR DATABASE
Geochemistry of the Earth

This database contains summary data on the geochemistry of all reservoirs in the Earth. All search results are customizable, allowing the user to sort and convert units and to download the data in a format of your choice with one click. This relational database only includes peer-reviewed data.
PARTITION COEFFICIENTS
KD's of Rocks and Minerals

This database contains partition coefficient data for all types of rocks and minerals and for every element. All search results are sortable and may be downloaded in the format of your choice. Both experimental and empirical data are included in this extensive compilation.

  • The New ArArCALC v2.4 is released, encapsulating many new features and numerous upgrades that have been collated over the last four years. This release marks the first of three major upgrades that will be made public over the coming two years under new funding by the EAR Instrument and Facilities program of NSF. Download software ...

  • The Fifth GERM Workshop will be held on May 28-31, 2006 at the Columbia University in Palisades NY. The Science Advisory Committee includes Steve Goldstein, Francis Albarede, Louise Kellog, Roberta Rudnick, Bernard Peucker-Ehrenbrink and Hubert Staudigel. Read more ...

  • There will be three events at the Fall AGU 2004 Meeting that relate to Geochemical Earth Reference Model (GERM) activities. First of all, GERM will sponsor the beer at the VGP reception -- please come, celebrate the VGP awardees and talk to us about our planning of the next GERM meeting at Lamont in 2005! There will also be GERM-related sessions on The Deep Earth Engine: Geophysics and Geochemistry (Union Session U04) and on Cyberinfrastructure in Geochemistry (Special Focus Session SF13).

  • PmagPy has been added to Earthref.org's Online Modeling Tools. PmagPy is a software package written by Lisa Tauxe for handling paleomagnetic data, including the MagICPy scripts to help import paleomagnetic data into the MagIC database. Knowledge of Python is not required to use the software, but would be useful for customizing the programs for your own use. Detailed instructions for the PmagPy installation and numerous examples are provided in the documentation. Read more ...

  • A two week learning segment on Hotspot Volcanoes has been implemented through a collaborative effort between Melanie McWilliams, a high school Earth and Planetary Science teacher at Chula Vista High School in California, and Jamie A. Russell, a masters student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Utilizing data collected during Jamie?s research, the students were taught about the hotspot theory and how hotspot volcanoes are important to understanding other Earth science concepts. The segment begins with five lessons, one for each day of the week and culminates with a group project for the students. Read more ...

  • Lisa Tauxe has updated her Online Book on Paleomagnetism that attempts to draw together the various principles and practices within paleomagnetism in a consistent and up-to-date manner. Paleomagnetic Data are useful in many applications of the Earth Sciences from determining paleocurrent directions to analyzing the long-term behavior of the geomagnetic field. Despite the diversity of applications, the techniques required to obtain and analyze the data are similar and all make use of the new MagIC Database. Read more ...
