Raman Spectra of Marine Calcifiers

Raman Spectra of Marine Calcifiers

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating biomineralization processes in marine calcifying organisms. Applications of Raman in biomineralization studies have progressed from simple mineral identification to quantitative analysis of crystallinity, isotope abundance, organic molecules, and more. At the same time, advances in instrumentation have made it possible to collect many thousands of spectra in relatively little time. As Raman spectroscopy continues to grow in popularity, it is essential that systems are in place to facilitate the sharing of data and analysis techniques. This Zenodo Community serves as a repository for all data, code, and analysis tools related to Raman spectroscopy of marine calcifying organisms. Submissions of raw Raman spectra, codes for analyzing data in particular studies, and software tools for quantifying spectra are all encouraged.
