DATA FUND information
The LEGMC data fund stores results of annual hydrometeorological, geologic, and environmental observations conducted in Latvia. The amount of information stored in this fund is the biggest in Latvia. Gradually, data fund information is converted into electronic format and stored in databases.
It also stores results of scientific researches and expedition reports carried out by LEGMC specialists.
Information from the data fund and the electronic database is used by various institutions. Data fund information can also be used by Latvian school pupils, higher school students and doctoral students in their scientific researches. To enable this option, it is necessary to submit a certificate issued by the educational institution, including the following data:
- information requesting person is a pupil/student/doctoral student/lecturer of the corresponding institution;
