Also at EGU 2021: A new microscopy data workflow applied to samples from Cap de Creus, NE Spain.
Presentation title: Petrological microscopy data workflow – an example from Cap de Creus, NE Spain When: 30 April, 13:50 Session: Managing Geochemical Data from Field to Lab to Publication to Archive (ESSI3.9) Main presenter: Richard Wessels The structural geology group at Utrecht University is collaborating with the EarthCube-funded StraboSpotinitiative to develop (meta)data schemas, templates and workflows, to support researchers in collecting and publishing petrological and microstructural data. This data will be made available in a FAIR manner through the EPOS (European Plate Observing System) data publication chain (https://epos-msl.uu.nl/). The data workflow under development currently includes: a) collecting structural field (meta)data compliant with the StraboSpot protocols, b) creating thin sections oriented in three dimensions by applying a notch system, c) scanning and digitizing thin sections using a high-resolution scanner, d) automated mineralogy through EDS on a SEM, and e) high-resolution geochemistry using a microprobe. The purpose of this workflow is to
