 This wiki is the documentation for the [[http://www.ice-d.org/|ICE-D database project]], whose purpose is to organize and work with data having to do with Earth science applications of cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry. If you know what that means, you're in the right place.  This wiki is the documentation for the [[http://www.ice-d.org/|ICE-D database project]], whose purpose is to organize and work with data having to do with Earth science applications of cosmogenic-nuclide geochemistry.

 A very comprehensive exposition of this idea can be found in a [[https://gchron.copernicus.org/articles/2/169/2020/|paper]] describing the software design, as well as in a [[http://hess.ess.washington.edu/repository/CI/Balco_Laabs_CI_project_description_20190813_shortened.pdf|proposal]] to the National Science Foundation to fund development of the system.  A very comprehensive exposition of this idea can be found in a [[https://gchron.copernicus.org/articles/2/169/2020/|paper]] describing the software design, as well as in a [[http://hess.ess.washington.edu/repository/CI/Balco_Laabs_CI_project_description_20190813_shortened.pdf|proposal]] to the National Science Foundation to fund development of the system. 
  
-The project also has a [[https://twitter.com/ice_d_database|Twitter feed]], which mostly just randomly tweets links to pictures of remote places in Antarctica. Literally randomly -- that is not just a filler word like 'whatever.' +A description of how the project got started and how it is supported can be found [[history_support|here]].

-Although the point of the ICE-D project is to assemble any and all cosmogenic-nuclide data, we make this project more manageable by structuring it around [[domains:start|a set of specific Earth science applications]]. Assembling all the data needed for focused science applications one at a time makes it possible to go from zero to useful a lot faster than trying to do the whole thing at once.  At present, these are the [[http://antarctica.ice-d.org|ICE-D:ANTARCTICA]], [[http://alpine.ice-d.org|ICE-D:ALPINE]], [[http://calibration.ice-d.org|ICE-D:PRODUCTION RATE CALIBRATION]], and [[http://greenland.ice-d.org|ICE-D:GREENLAND]] databases. +Although the point of the ICE-D project is to assemble any and all cosmogenic-nuclide data, we make this project more manageable by structuring it around [[domains:start|a set of specific Earth science applications]].
