PANGAEA (data library)

Data can be georeferenced in time (date/time or geological age) and space (latitude, longitude, depth/height).

Data are in Open Access and are distributed through web services in standard formats on the Internet through various search engines and portals.

Retrieval of data sets is provided through a full text search engine (based on Apache Lucene / panFMP).

Data descriptions are available through various protocols (OAI-PMH, Web Catalog Service).

PANGAEA is hosted by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Bremerhaven and the MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences, Bremen in Germany.

The PANGAEA logo shows the supercontinent Pangaea at about 150 Million years ago in an artistic vision.
