A research data open science award 2023 for Aymeric Hermann’s geochemical database

Prix science ouverte des données de la recherche 2023

The “Open Science for Research Data” prizes have been awarded for the second time by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

Aymeric Hermann is a winner in the “creating the conditions for reuse” category for his project “Reconstructing past inter-island voyages in the Pacific using geochemistry”.

The geochemical database of geochemical composition and contextual information compiled as part of this project is available on an open-access basis. The data is used as an archaeological source to generate maps and to reconstruct the migrations of the Pacific island populations. The methodology which has been developed allows this practice to be adapted to other geographical areas.

Note that the research unit’s open-access data is available on this page.
