Description
This is a program to convert geochemical data of rocks to KML. By using this program, you can visualize the data on Google Earth as follows.
-
Each element value is displayed by a bar graph at each sampling point
-
Ratio between two elements is displayed by a bar graph at each sampling point
-
Major element compositions are displayed by a stacked bar graph at each sampling point
Instructions
The next only five steps you need to generate a KML file.
- Upload your data file.
- Select element(s) you want to see.
- Select data range you want to output.
- Select color(s) and properties of bar graphs.
- Select position of the legend.
Supported data formats
Now you can convert the data file downloaded from the following database site. Each database site is linked from this page (see "Links to database sites").
| database site | data format |
|---|---|
| PetDB (Petrological Database of the Ocean Floor) | Microsoft Excel |
| SedDB (Integrated Data Management for Sediment Geochemistry) | Microsoft Excel |
| GEOROC (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) | CSV |
| GANSEKI (Geochemistry and Archives of Ocean Floor rocks on Networks for Solid Earth Knowledge Integration) | CSV |
Of course, you can convert you original geohemical data of rock samples written in the file having the same format as the files from the database sites.
