Your Quaternary Data is awesome, but is it FAIR?

PaleoNut replaces the spreadsheet shuffle with a structured database that knows your domain—FAIR compliance follows from day one.

Stop struggling at the end of your project

Your team knows the drill. A sediment core comes back from the field. Pollen goes into Tilia, XRF data is scattered in lab spreadsheets, charcoal has its own spreadsheet. The postdoc who built the core splice leaves the team, taking the tie–point notebook with them.

Six months before submission, someone has to reconcile everything into a format that Neotoma or NOAA will accept. That costs 4–6 weeks of a researcher’s time—time that could be spent on Science.

Being FAIR shouldn’t be a separate project. When you build data management into your workflow from day one, you skip the last–minute data crunch entirely.

All your proxies in one structured database

  • Pollen, charcoal, diatoms, chironomids, forams, or whatever you count.
  • XRF, LOI, MS, facies description, etc.
  • 14C, OSL, 210Pb, age–depth models.
  • Composite depth–scale and core splice.
  • Built–in PaST thesaurus.

Streamlined FAIR–compliance without reformatting

  • One–click export to NeotomaDB, NOAA or PANGAEA.
  • One–click export to LiPD files for easy sharing, integrated upload to LiPDverse.
  • Optional integration with the Open Science Framework for DOI and versioned updates.

Your data is FAIR from the start, not reformatted at the end.

Visualizations that grow with your data

At project start, we agree on the plots that tell your core’s story. Pollen diagrams, age–depth models, event markers, PCA biplots—they update automatically as new data comes in. Pick from a growing library we refine with every project.

MIT licensed, documented and yours to extend

PaleoNut is not a SaaS subscription you depend on. It’s a documented codebase we ship to your lab. You can inspect it, modify it, or extend it for your next project.

Deploy anywhere. Owned by your team. Reuse for your next grant.
