The GEOMAGIA50 database - Index
|
The GEOMAGIA50 database is now up and running.
The GEOMAGIA50 is a database that comes with a web interface
intended to give users easy access to archeomagnetic
data. At present, the database contains about 8 000 determinations of geomagnetic
field directions and intensities for the past 50 000 years.
If you use this database and you want to cite it, please use the following references:

Two forms are available to query the database:
-
Geomagia v.1 allows querying for intensities. This version is described in Korhonen et al. (2008). An help file is also available.
-
Geomagia v.2 allows querying for all different geomagnetic field parameters. In this version the raking system was deleted because the amount of directional metadata is limited. Now you can save the CALS7k model field as text files.
The Documents section has manuals on the use and the structure of this database
The Statistics section shows the activity during the past 30 days
The Logs section has some details about the updates of this site
