sedexp.net - New ways to find and share data and methods

Have you visited the SEN Wiki lately? 

The SEN Wiki is a centralized place to link your data sets and descriptions of experimental set-ups, methods, and equipment. These tasks help to satisfy data management plan, publisher, and funding agency requirements.

Contact us at any time with questions, comments, or suggestions, at sedimentexp@gmail.com.

Also, don't forget about our Graduate Student and Early Career AGU Travel Grant Contest! You can earn $1000 toward AGU costs if you contribute enough content to the SEN Wiki*.

NOTE: If you set up Google log-in before May 2015, you may need to re-enable your Google account access. Log in with your sedexp.net username and password then edit your Connected Accounts under My Account. Contact us if you need help with this.

1. Find new information: New Browse and Search interface

  • Browse all the latest entries at http://sedexp.net/kb.
  • Enter search keywords, sort by type (data catalog entry, set-up, method, equipment) or post date.
  • Data Catalog entries are now browsed along with all other types of wiki entries. 

2. Share your data and methods: New Quick Start Page

3. Save entries privately and publish later

  • Use the "Save as Draft" option to keep your entry private until you are ready to publish.
  • Access your saved entries using the "My Workbench" link in the upper left corner when logged in.

4. Check out these example entries:


The SEN wiki is still under development. Have a problem or wish list feature? Let us know at sedimentexp@gmail.com. We love to hear from our users and want to help you publish and share your content.

Happy experimenting,
The SEN Team
