Data types and template
There are various types of geological data analyzed in sediment and rock cores in PANGAEA, a few examples can be found here:
Example from a Gravity Corer: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.809012,
Example from DSDP/ODP/IODP: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.922398
Example sediment surface samples/short cores (e.g., MUC): https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.923422
For all data types PANGAEA needs to know the metadata. This template might help you for your Data submission.
Metadata and Data
Metadata Event (see template: Event)
- Event label, name of the core
- Device with which the sediment core was taken
- Latitude, Longitude, in decimal degree
- Elevation, negativ if below sea level
- Date/Time of sampling (in ISO 8601 )
- Campaign of sampling
- sensor.awi link
- ISGN link/handle
- Any other information e.g., optional event label, recovery, comments
Metadata Parameter (see template: Parameter)
- Give all parameters as full names, no abbreviations.
- Give the unit (SI units) behind the parameter names in squarte brackets
Data (see template: Data)
- Please provide the data in an excel sheet or as tab delimited text file. Avoid text or csv files with any other column separation.
- First column: Event label
- Give the depth below seafloor (or mcd, rmcd) in meter
- First line: full parameter names including the unit, given in square brackets
- Granularity of data sets may follow categories, e.g. all benthic foraminifera or all physical properties data in one set
- Data of several profiles with the same parameter and structure may be provided in one file, cores following sequentialy one below the other
