Welcome to the PANGAEA data submission system. Any data from earth and life sciences are accepted. We highly appreciate you to archive and publish your data with PANGAEA.

Please note: All data and metadata are quality checked, harmonized, and processed for machine readability, which allows efficient and reliable re-usage of your data. Depending on the extent and complexity of your data submission the editorial process and minting of DOI names for submission not affiliated to our hosts, project partners and partners (front-offices) might therefore take up to several months. If you want to know more on how to become a front-office partner please contact us.
