Mission Statement

The Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) improves research capacity in the Earth and Ocean sciences by maintaining an open community digital data repository for rock and paleomagnetic data with portals that allow users to archive, search, visualize, download, and combine these versioned datasets. MagIC supports the international rock and paleomagnetic communities and endeavors to bring data out of private archives, making them accessible to all and (re-)useable for new, creative, collaborative scientific and educational activities.

MagIC Support
Funded by NSF since 2003, MagIC forms a major part of EarthRef.org, which integrates four independent cyber-initiatives rooted in various parts of the Earth, Ocean and Life sciences and education. MagIC is a collaborative effort between the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Science, Oregon State University and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
MagIC Core Group
MagIC is inherently domain-specific and directed by PIs who are both producers and consumers of rock and paleomagnetic data.
