Considerable time and resources are often required to acquire and compile paleoecological information because the information is fragmented–existing in the head of various discipline specialists, in books, papers and hard drives. To address these inefficiencies and encourage more aggressive dissemination of paleoecological information among the global community-of-practice we propose to develop a paleoecological database and query application.

The objective of the paleoecological database and its associated applications is to create a unified, digital data store (relational database) for paleoecological information for the dominant microfossil disciplinesThe goal is for industrial biostratigraphers to be able to easily access comprehensive paleoecological information about microfossil species from a digital database, rather than searching among multitudes of publications and spreadsheets.
