Geoinformatics for Geochemistry

Geoinformatics for Geochemistry (GfG)is a program of integrated data management projects intended to develop, maintain and operate digital geochemical data collections to maximize their application in research and education. The GfG system supports the long-term preservation, discovery, retrieval and analysis of geochemical data and facilitates their integration with the broad array of other available earth science parameters through use of advanced information technologies and data management practices.
