PANGAEA is a globally leading information system, long term archive and data publisher for geoscientific, biological and environmental data.
 
Jointly hosted by the Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) at the Universityaet Bremen and the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), PANGAEA is laid out as a permanent facility, guaranteeing the long-term availability and accessibility of archived data and metadata in secure and machine readable formats. Data published by PANGAEA origins from a broad range of subdisciplines of the  Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Physics with a special focus an Earth Sciences and Environmental Sciences.
 
It is World Data Center (WDC-PANGAEA) accredited by the International Council for Science (ICSU)  World Data System. Further, it holds mandates from the World  Meteorological Organization (WMO) as a World Radiation Monitoring Center (WRMC). Archiving follows the Recommendations of the Commission on Professional Self Regulation in Science for safeguarding good scientific practice and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Principles and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding.
 
PANGAEA is the designated archive for the journal Earth System Science Data (ESSD) and recommended data repository of several international scientific journals such as “Scientific Data” by the Nature publishing group.
 
Essential services supplied by PANGAEA are data curation, long-term data archiving and data publication. Data curation includes quality control of metadata and the development of ontologies and vocabularies according to international protocols and standards. Metadata are extensive and each dataset can be cited using a universally unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI). The system is operated in the sense of the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities which is a follow up to the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
