WELCOME TO SEDDB
SedDB complements current geological data systems (PetDB, EarthChem, NavDat and GEOROC) with an integrated compilation of geochemistry of marine and continental sediments. Data can be applied to studies of sedimentology, geochemistry, petrology, oceanography, paleoclimate research, and for educational purposes.
The geochemical database contains a full range of analytical values for sediment samples, primarily from marine sediment cores. It includes major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and stable isotope ratios, and data for a plethora of materials such as organic and inorganic components, leachates, and size fractions. SedDB also archives a vast array of metadata relating to the individual sample. If you encounter any problems with the system, please report these to

Funding for SedDB has been renewed until 2010.
SedDB data holdings as of June, 2009: 305988 individual values from 38495 samples, 5977 cores and 279 references.
SedDB is being built collaboratively by researchers and information technologists at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Oregon State University, Boston University, and Boise State University, and is funded by a grant from the US National Science Foundation.

The construction of SedDB benefits extensively from the natural synergies that exist with various cyberinfrastructure projects that the PIs and technical personnel are currently involved with, among them PetDB, EarthChem, SESAR, Paleostrat, MGDS, and from working closely with other data management and geoinformatics efforts such as NGDC, Pangaea and the Janus database thereby contributing to the establishment of a broad network of data resources.
