Abstract: NGGDPP is the United States' national earth science data preservation program.The Program,administered by the USGS,comprises State geological surveys and agencies within the DOI that maintain geological and geophysical data and samples.NGGDPP partnerships are working to Inventory collections of materials and data that exist in State geological surveys and DOI agencies to identify preservation and data-rescue needs;design and begin populating a National Digital Catalog;develop guidelines for distribution of Program funds and establish priorities for Program activities,establish minimum standards,procedures,and protocols for preserving and archiving collections of geological and geophysical materials and data.Through the implementation of NGGDPP,it has improved the access and archiving methods of geological materials and data in the United States,so that the information is more effective for the science and research.This paper intends to introduce NGGDPP in the hope to provide references for China's geological data management and services.
