N1 - Funding Information: Data derived from the physical samples are usually (but not always) uploaded to an electronic database, but individual curation of the associated samples and metadata imposes limits on future retrieval and further research. This also places these resources at risk from hazards like floods and fires. Likewise, storing metadata in an individual lab, in personal computer files, or in field notebooks limits the ability of other scientists to make use of these samples. Historically, one way to encourage voluntary data submission to an existing data archive was to keep the formatting and metadata requirements to a minimum. However, regularized data standards could make future data synthesis much easier, and these standards are potentially viable now that funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation, have begun requesting that proposals include detailed data management plans for archiving both physical samples and electronic data. However, these agencies provide no guidance on what practices are acceptable for a given scientific community. To solve these data archival and hosting problems, paleoceanographers and paleoclimatologists are beginning to define the standards they need to properly store physical samples, metadata, and derived proxy data. The Marine Annually Resolved Proxy Archives (MARPA; see http://www.bit.ly/ MARPA) project is a grassroots effort by the scientific community to build consensus on data and sample archiving procedures, working with existing and new data repositories to ensure that the needs of the community are represented.
