Abstract

Seismic reflection data provide critical information about the physical properties and structure of the lithosphere and are the basis for Solid Earth Science. They are logistically complex, generally expensive to acquire and their geographical coverage is limited. Therefore, it is essential to make the most of the data that have already been acquired. The collation and dissemination of seismic open access data is then key to promote and enhance new interpretations of legacy data. The Seismic DAta REpository (SeisDARE), promoted by Geosciences Barcelona (GEO3BCN-CSIC) and digital.CSIC, is an open access online database that stores seismic data registered with a permanent identifier (DOI). It is a dynamic database, as it is being constantly updated, guarantees the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles of data management and accomplishes the international mandates of open access. SeisDARE includes currently 19 seismic datasets (normal incidence and wide-angle) acquired since the 1980’s in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. These areas have attracted the attention of international researchers in the fields of geology and geophysics due to the exceptional outcrops of the Variscan and Alpine orogens and wide foreland basins; the crustal structure of the offshore margins that resulted from a complex plate kinematic evolution; and the large quantities of natural resources contained within. This database has been built with the support of several institutions and is open for international collaborations. As an example of this collaboration and as a model for the inclusion of other global seismic datasets, SeisDARE hosts seismic data acquired in Texas (USA), within the COCORP project (Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling). SeisDARE aims to make easily accessible former and recently acquired seismic data and to establish a framework for future seismic data management plans. SeisDARE is freely available at https://digital.csic.es/handle/10261/101879 (last access October 2020).
