  • The EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA) now invites User Upload of digital files. Files contributed to the ERDA collection may support any of the EarthRef.org databases (such as GERM, MagIC, ERESE and the Seamount Catalog), they may offer a digital archive to a scientific publication, or they may be of general use to both the Earth sciences and education. ERDA may also fulfill the archival needs of a group of scientists that chooses ERDA for their online file archival. Uploaded files will be immediately available to other users of the EarthRef.org website. Start your upload by using the panel Your Own Contributions on the left that will always be available from this home page. Read more ...
  • 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 ...
