PANGAEA - Data Publisher for Earth & Environmental Science
The information system PANGAEA is operated as an Open Access library to archive, publish and distribute georeferenced data from biodiversity- and earth system research. PANGAEA guarantees TRUSTed long-term availability (greater than 10 years) of its content.
PANGAEA focuses on georeferenced observational and experimental data. Citability, comprehensive metadata descriptions, interoperability of data and metadata, a high degree of structural and semantic harmonisation of the data inventory, as well as the commitment of the hosting institutions ensures FAIRness of published data.
The PANGAEA Editorial ensures the integrity and authenticity as well as a high usability of all data. Archived data are machine readable and mirrored into our data warehouse which allows efficient compilations of data products.
PANGAEA is the designated German Polar Data Centre.
Data is freely available and can be used under the terms of the license mentioned. A few data sets are under moratorium due to ongoing projects or sensitive content. The description of each data set is always visible which includes the principal investigator (PI) for contact.
Each dataset can be identified, shared, published and cited by using a full citation including a persistent Digital Object Identifier (DOI Name). PANGAEA allows data to be published as independent, self-standing data publication supplements to science articles (example) or as citable data collections in combination with data journals like ESSD, Geoscience Data Journal, Nature Scientific Data, and others.
PANGAEA is open to any project, institution, or individual scientist to archive, publish and use data. Start a data submission here.
