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.

  • As of this week, we have uploaded a significant number of new entries in the Partition Coefficient (Kd) Database. In addition, we have made corrections in the existing database, and made a first step at increasing, and clarifying the search parameters. This upgrade represents (an increase of over 35% in the size of the database) the first step in our new initiative to bring the database up-to-date, and to create a searchable database that will allow users to download full experimental datasets through this system. This compilation now represents information from over 300 papers. Visit the Kd Datatbase ...

  • 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).

  • The EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA) invites User Upload of digital files. We recommend that you use this digital archive to store any digital file that does not fit into the structure used by the MagIC Upload Wizard found on the upper left of this page. Typical ERDA file uploads may include field work pictures, animations, video excerpts, custom software, location maps, white reports, workshop volumes, field trip guides, etc. Uploaded files will be immediately available to all users of the EarthRef.org website.

  • The basic design of the EarthRef.org website has been updated based on feedback from many of its users. Currently, we are about to finish the Second Phase of this Redesign Project, in which we have improved the functionality and information displayed on the home pages for EarthRef.org, GERM, MagIC and ERESE. Each of these web sites will function as the Web Portal for its corresponding database, while taking advantage of the infra-structure provided by the EarthRef.org umbrella web site and database. Please check back with us on a regular basis to see how the design evolves over the next few months. We would appreciate your comments or suggestions through the Feedback form.
