Abstract
Geochronological comparisons of large datasets are facilitated by the use of structured databases. This paper reports the ongoing development of CHRONIBERIA, a geochronological GIS database that will provide access to zircon U–Pb age datasets from Iberia. The database will also integrate relevant distinct datasets from other correlative regions around the world to construct a framework based on stratigraphic, sedimentological, and palaeogeographical data.
