To prevent that from happening, this project is building out the global data set by focusing, one at a time, on smaller data sets that comprise the total amount of data needed to address a single important science application. It started by compiling all known cosmogenic-nuclide data from Antarctica, which include about 4000 measurements on about 3000 samples. That's a relatively small amount of data that can be compiled without too much suffering, but it's the complete set of data needed for useful and significant projects such as, for example, reconstructing changes in Antarctic ice volume and their impact on global sea level change during the last 25,000 years. This is an important thing to be able to do, and it's not that much data that needs to be compiled, so we were able to go from nothing to a useful data set fairly quickly. The relationship between effort and reward is much less daunting than it would be for a vaguely defined goal of assembling a global data set. | To prevent that from happening, this project is building out the global data set by focusing, one at a time, on smaller data sets that comprise the total amount of data needed to address a single important science application.
