The GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee has established an International Data Management Centre at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (Liverpool, United Kingdom). Additional information concerning the protocols for submission of GEOTRACES data has been posted on their web site (click on the link above or contact the Centre's coordinator, Dr. Ed Mawji directly at ezm at bodc.ac.uk).
The first step towards establishing a GEOTRACES Data Management Centre was taken by a group of experts who developed a proposal for data management in GEOTRACES. Subsequently, GEOTRACES established a standing committee on Data Management, co-chaired by Drs. Reiner Schlitzer of the Alfred Wegener Institute (Reiner.Schlitzer at awi.de) and Chris Measures (chrism at soest.hawaii.edu) of the University of Hawaii. That committee has developed more specific recommendations for data management which have been implemented by the GEOTRACES International Data Assembly Centre.
