GEON, the Geosciences Network, has announced that it is now hosting NAVDAT, the Western North American Volcanic and Intrusive Rock Database. The collaborative arrangement is expected to have numerous benefits, including expanding the range of Earth science data collections that geoscientists can seamlessly access through GEON, while at the same time freeing the NAVDAT scientists from having to deal with information technology issues so that they can focus more fully on science.
