GERM (Geochemical Earth Reference Model) Resevoir Database

The GERM (Geochemical Earth Reference Model) Reservoir Database is comprised of a collection geochemical data that was compiled for major Earth and Solar System reservoirs and includes the major element oxide and trace element abundances for chondritic meteorites, primitive Earth mantle, mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB), and the Sun. The data come from well-known and respected sources in Geochemistry (please see the references below) and may be used in geochemical modeling provided that credit is given to the data provider(s).
