Please feel free to search the database.To add your own measurements you need a password which can be obtained by writing a short email to splitting@gm.univ-montp2.fr. Thank you for your understanding.
For entering your data we prepared a browser interface. Please have a look at our Preview
We provide two different output formats of the database, text files of splitting parameters and references and the database in GoogleEarth format

Citing the SKS splitting database using its DOI:
Barruol, G., Wuestefeld, A., & Bokelmann, G. (2009). SKS-Splitting-database. Université de Montpellier, Laboratoire Géosciences. https://doi.org/10.18715/sks_splitting_database
Important notice: The SplittingDataBase is an open-access database. It contains SKS splitting parameters, but also all the corresponding article references. So, do not forget to cite the proper works & references in your publications when using and extracting data from this base.
If you use the data or maps
in publications please cite the SplittingDataBase using the following reference:
Wüstefeld, A.; Bokelmann, G. H. R.; Barruol, G.; Montagner, J.-P. (2009)

We recommend
plitLab
to perform your splitting processing!

To easily plot the SKS splitting results with GMT4, you can use the script draw_splitDB.txt kindly provided by Frederik Tilmann (GFZ Potsdam).
