Summary
This application allows users to view available geochemical data in a fully documented HTML table format. Users define the suite of sample analyses to be displayed by selecting sample and analysis types and either a geographic area or a previously compiled dataset. The data is stored in the DGGS Geologic and Earth Resource Information Library of Alaska (GERILA) digital database. The display tables are designed to provide documentation of the search criteria, samples, analyses, and individual geochemical determinations to the level reflected in their source publications or in project files to the best of DGGS staff's ability. The source GERILA dataset is incomplete and is added to as more data can be formatted and collected.

The source GERILA dataset is incomplete and is added to as more data can be formatted and collected.
The geochemical analyses are extracted from DGGS and other geologic publications in Alaska, and are loaded into the GERILA database to establish a centralized archive of digital data in a uniform, well documented, and stable database system. This compilation is provided to the public through WebGeochem to facilitate geologic research that will lead to natural resource development and to facilitate natural resource planning across the state. The USGS, Western Region Mineral Section, Alaska Branch, Minerals Data and Information at Risk in Alaska (MDIRA) program provided funding for the GERILA database and compilation of digital geochemical datasets.
