All scientists use data in their experiments. But they don't record or report their data in the same way.
A South Dakota Mines researcher is building a geologic data library to help solve that issue. She describes the data like stories that need to be recorded in a common language.
Gokce Ustunisik, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at South Dakota Mines.
She hopes the library will give researchers a better understanding of what's going on deep inside the Earth.
