The National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) manages environmental data in the fields of solar-terrestrial physics, solid earth geophysics, marine geology and geophysics, paleoclimatology, and glaciology (snow and ice). In each of these fields it also operates a World Data Center (WDC A) discipline center.

Data, meta-data, and information at NGDC are available via the Internet using Web browsers, Gopher, and Anonymous-FTP. While not all of our data holdings are available through NGDC's Geophysical On-Line Data (GOLD), new data and information are continually being added.
