Geosciences Reference Data Sets in R

Description

The package includes reference data sets commonly used in geosciences, such as the standard atomic weights of elements, a periodic table, a mineral list, reservoir reference datasets (continental crust, mantle, basalts, etc.), decay constants, and isotopic ratios frequently used in geochronology. Additionally, the package provides functions for basic queries of atomic weights and mineral lists.
All datasets have complete references, making them citable.
