Short summary
The stable isotopic composition of seawater is a valuable tool for studying the global water cycle in the past, present, and future. However, an active repository dedicated to archiving this type of data has been lacking, and many datasets remain hidden from public view. We have created a new database of observational seawater isotope data that is rich in metadata, publicly accessible, and machine readable to increase its availability and usability for a variety of Earth Science applications.
