PANGAEA

PANGAEA is a major open-access data repository dedicated to Earth and environmental sciences, serving as a long-term archive for geospatial, oceanographic, climate, and ecological datasets. Operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute and the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM), the platform provides carefully curated, DOI-assigned datasets contributed by researchers worldwide. With its emphasis on FAIR principles, rich metadata, and interoperability with global scientific infrastructures, PANGAEA enables scientists to discover, reuse, and integrate high-quality environmental data across disciplines—from paleoclimatology and geochemistry to marine biology and Arctic research.
