MetPetDB Working Group
The Metamorphic Database Working Group was assembled to begin development of a database for metamorphic petrology (MetPetDB). Our mission is to design, develop, and ultimately populate a database that will not only permit archive and retrieval of data, but will substantially enhance the way we do our science by easing data management, improving collaborative efforts, and spawning new, data intensive research areas. Everyone is welcome to join in this effort.
