VentDB is an effort funded by the US National Science Foundation to build and operate a data management system for hydrothermal spring geochemistry that will host and serve the full range of compositional data acquired on seafloor hydrothermal vents from all tectonic settings. VentDB supports the preservation and dissemination of analytical data on hydrothermal springs and plumes.

VentDB complements existing geochemical data collections such as SedDB and PetDB. VentDB can accommodate  published historical data as well as legacy and new data that investigators contribute.

Access the VentDB database (prototype, released October 7, 2011).

 The VentDB prototype is a fully functional system with a limited number of datasets. As of October 7, 2011, the VentDB database contains data from 10 publications.

How to Contribute Your Data:

If you would like to contribute data to VentDB, please submit your dataset to the Geochemical Resource Library, using the data templates provided by GfG. VentDB data managers will transfer your data into the VentDB database.

 Please, contact info@ventdb.org for any questions or feedback regarding the submission process.

VentDB is part of the data collections operated by the IEDA data facility, funded by the US National Science Foundation at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, in collaboration with the University of Hawaii.
