• Geochemical Earth Reference Model (GERM) - This database contains summary data on the geochemistry of all reservoirs in the Earth. All search results are customizable, allowing the user to sort and convert units and to download the data in a format of your choice with one click.
• EarthChem - The EarthChem Portal is a data management system through which users can search across databases, providing a "one-stop shop" for geochemistry data of the solid earth. The portal provides multiple resources including educational and visualization tools for researchers, educators, and students at all levels of expertise.
• Example Exercises and Activities using EarthChem - This Science Education Resource Center (SERC) site by Kent Ratajeski provides teaching exercises and activities using EarthChem.
