A pilot project of the Enabling FAIR Data Project led by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in partnership with DataCite and the Earth, space and environment sciences community, can help you find an appropriate repository to deposit your research data.
A database system designed to capture complete data and metadata to document geochronologic age estimation, allowing future reuse, recalculation, and integration with other data.
The Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS) provides a suite of tools and services for free public access to marine geoscience research data acquired throughout the global oceans and adjoining continental margins.
Presented is a three part training module for student researchers to learn sample collection, processing, and management protocol including proper sample documentation, registration, and tracking in a small academic department collaborative research setting.

This module describes the steps for collecting, processing and managing soil cores sampled manually by augering. The purpose is to provide a protocol for collecting, processing and managing this type of physical samples to facilitate future discovery and use, including assigning International Geosample Numbers (IGSN).

IEDA Data Management Plan (DMP) Tool: Provides an easy way to generate a DMP for inclusion in NSF proposals. The DMP Tool is designed to minimize the impact of creating a DMP, ensures that all relevant and required information is captured, and generates a well-formatted PDF that clearly presents relevant information to reviewers.
