Biogeochemistry, Circulation, and Life

of Present and Past Oceans

The WDC is aimed at collecting, scrutinizing, and disseminating data related to Global Change in the fields of environmental oceanography,

marine geology, paleoceanography, and marine biology.

WDC-MARE focuses on georeferenced data using the

information system PANGAEA.
