Astromaterials Data Workshop
Do you study or use astromaterials data in your research? We want to hear from you!
Join us for a workshop on Dec. 6th at 11:00AM (EST) for an opportunity to learn about the available astromaterials data in our system and help inform future developments.
The Astromaterials Data System Search application (AstroSearch) provides access to geochemical data of samples in the NASA Astromaterials Collections of the Johnson Space Center, derived from 900+ lunar and 800+ meteorite publications. AstroSearch provides users the ability to:
- filter by lunar mission, rock type, or meteorite classification
- select subsets of data by analysis and material type
- choose individual geochemical variables and set value parameters
- customize the search results display and download the data table
- save the query for future use
Register for the workshop here. If you're unable to attend due to time zone differences or other conflicts, please feel free to contact us at info@astromat.org with any feedback or questions.
AstroMat presentations at Astromaterials Data Management in the Era of Sample-Return Missions Community Workshop
Several AstroMat team members will travel to the University of Arizona in Tucson next week to present at the Astromaterials Data Management in the Era of Sample-Return Missions Community Workshop. On Monday, Nov. 8th, AstroMat PI, Dr. Kerstin Lehnert, will give the invited keynote presentation in the Vision and Concepts for Astromaterials Data Archiving session. Later in that session, Sarah Ramdeen will present on FAIR Samples for Open Astromaterials Science. In the Current Archive/Repositories session, Lucy Profeta will speak about The Astromaterials Data System: Advancing Access and Preservation of Past, Present, and Future Lab Analytical Data of NASA’S Astromaterials Collections. Monday afternoon, Alexandra Ostroverkhova will give the talk Astromaterial Databases from Two Perspectives: User and Curator | Lessons Learned from the Current State of Meteorite Data Reporting and Database Curation in the Lessons Learned from Decades of Sample Analysis session.
