Welcome to the United States National Geoscience Data Repository
System (NGDRS).
The NGDRS is funded by Grant Number: DE-FG26-99BC-15115 from
the US Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy.
The NGDRS is a system of geoscience data repositories,
providing information about their respective holdings accessible
through a web-based supercatalog. The catalog lists the holdings
of participating public and private geoscience data repositories.
Much of the data provided through the catalog is metadata, however,
where the participating repository sees fit, online data access
is possible. The goal of the supercatalog is to provide users
information about the vast holdings of geoscience data, the
quality, quantity, and location of that data, as well as general
information about the attribute fields of the data.
The NGDRS project is jointly sponsored by the The
Department of Energy (DOE) and the Petroleum industry and
operated by the American Geological Institute
(AGI).
The supercatalog is accessed through a web-based
graphical geographical browser. Users may browse and select data
visually or through searches on specfic criteria.
Please note that some of the participating repositories
require payment for access to their full database.
