Framework for Integrated Earth Science and Technology Applications

Open-source, configurable data repositories for geoscience subdomains hosted at EarthRef and following FAIR data principles.

FIESTA is a part of the EarthRef.org cyberinfrastructure funded by NSF's EarthCube and adheres to FAIR and TRUST data principles. It implements a flexible software platform for coalescing multiple heterogeneous datasets from across an Earth Science subdomain into a customized data repository of homogeneous datasets to support transformative new scientific objectives. The system employs modern open-source software enabling each deployed FIESTA repository to include many out-of-the-box features such as its own data model, search interface, a unifying FIESTA API, ORCID ID authentication, and DataCite data DOI and sample IGSN minting.

Current Repositories

Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) database for published rock-magnetic and paleomagnetic data.

GERM Partition Coefficient Database (KdD) for all types of rocks and minerals and for every element.

K/Ar and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology (KArAr) results including ages recalculated against community-agreed standards and constants.

The Core Data Repository (CDR) of geological drilling samples archives multi-sensor track data for sediment and rock cores.

OSU-MGR App in support of the Oregon State University Marine and Geology Repository (OSU-MGR) of rock, lake, and marine sediment samples from around the world and pole to pole.

In Progress Repositories

Summary data on the geochemistry of all GERM chemical reservoir (GERM-RD) in the Earth.

The EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA) for managing FIESTA repositories' digital products.

Possible Future Repositories

The Seamount Biogeosciences Network (SBN) Seamount Catalog of bathymetric maps and morphological data.

A collection of modern and ancient magnetic field models and numerical dynamo simulations.

Sr, Nd, O, C and other isotope analyses on sediment cores (SedISO) and stratigraphic sections from around the world and oceans.

A systematic collection of radiocarbon (RADC) dates into an openly accessible 14C data repository.
