The human operators of the equipment should not need to re-enter data that are acquired or generated by computers in the first place.Data can be ingested from a variety of data reduction programs that are used widely in the various geochronology and thermochronology communities. These programs have been adapted to seamlessly upload standardized data to the Geochron database with minimal input from the operator.Geochron is a project of EarthChem and EARTHTIMEAbout EarthChemAbout EARTHTIMEFunded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF)
