The GEODAS software is presently being used with three types of data: Marine Trackline Geophysical Data -- Hydrographic (bathymetric) Survey Data -- Aeromagnetic Survey Data] Geodesy and Geophysics [NIMA(GIMG), Geodesy and Geophysics Department, National Imagery and Mapping Agency] GeoMine -- Geophysical Data Sets Geoscience Research arranged by State [U.S.G.S.] Government Information -- Public Access [NOAA is the steward of environmental data and information for the Nation. These data represent the environmental history of the country since its inception. Over this past year significant amounts of data have become available on line, either through direct access or on-line orders. ] The IRIS Data Management Center [The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology is a university research consortium dedicated to exploring the Earth's interior through the collection and distribution of seismographic data.] Latest Earthquakes [U.S.G.S.] Marine Sediment and Rock Data [NGDC's Marine Geology and Geophysics Division & WDC-A for MGG is building its global marine sediment and hardrock databases to better serve as an international focal point for marine geology data management.] Minerals Management Service [Gulf of Mexico OuterContinental Shelf (OCS) Region of the Minerals Management Service (MMS)] National Earthquake Information Center [United States Geological Survey] National Geophysical Data Center [extensive environmental data] Natural Resources Atlas of Canada National Oceanographic Data Center [The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) provides customers with access to global databases of physical, chemical, and biological ocean data, as well as to numerous individual data sets and data products.] Science Data Central [Seismology and Volcanology] Whats New in Geophysics at NGDC [You can register for email notification of new products.] Ocean Bottom Magnetology Laboratory [links to sources of magnetic data] Ocean Drilling Program [ODP, Texas A&M] Ocean Floor Databases [Columbia University] Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center [JPL, CA] NOS Digital Bathy Soundings United States Coastal Waters [This WWW site contains bathymetric sounding information for U.S. Coastal Waters collected by the National Ocean Survey and distributed by the National Geophysical Data Center] Paleomagnetic Data [The server will allow you to search the Global Paleomagnetic Database, version 3.1, developed by Jo Lock and Michael McElhinny (1991). This version was finalized in May 1995 and contains 7,569 paleomagnetic records from years 1949 to 1994. ] Sci-Central [Geophysics, Sesimology and Volcanology] Southern California Earthquake Data Center [The SCEC (SouthernCalifornia Earthquake Center) Data Center is the primary archive and distribution center of seismological data recorded by the Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN)] Spatial Data [Maintained by Ohio State University] Strong Motion Database [This is the home page of Strong Motion Data Base (SMDB) of the Center of Geophysical Data Studies and Telematics Applications (CGDS) of Joint Institute of Physics of the Earth (JIPE) Russian Academy of Sciences. ] Surfing the Net for Earthquake Data [University of Washington] Terra Firma - ERL's nCUBE 2 Homepage [is a geophysical database/media/compute server located at the MIT Earth Resources Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts] TOPEX/POSEIDON [ The TOPEX ground system has been streamlined to produce data more quickly and efficiently. Now, data processing and image generation are done on one computer cluster, rather than using multiple computer platforms. ] UNI Data [extensive atmospheric databases and software] the World Data Center System [Data acquisition, storage and distribution are expensive, WDCs cost money, but they are cost-effective in transferring data to users, and their operational costs represent a tiny fraction of worldwide scientific activity. The ICSU Panel on World Data Centres hopes that this Guide will provide a useful overview of the system.] World Data Center - A [| Gravity | Heatflow | Hotsprings | Magnetics | Natural Hazards | Topography ] World Data Center for Geomagnetism [Solar Terrestrial Physics Division, Danish Meteorological Institute] World Gravity Data [from satellite altimetry]
