Coverage
Oceanography, polar research, climate and geology datasets, each with a DOI, harvestable via the OAI-PMH endpoint (`ws.pangaea.de/oai/provider`) and searchable on pangaea.de; some datasets carry a login requirement or moratorium, per that dataset's own page.

Verdict
Citable, DOI-registered earth and environmental science datasets (oceanography, polar research, climate, geology), harvestable via OAI-PMH and searchable on the main site. Licence is shown per dataset; the terms of use say: "By submitting research content and metadata to the PANGAEA platform the content will be published under the Creative Commons license CC0 for metadata and CC-BY for data. Exceptions have to be negotiated on an individual basis with PANGAEA." Do not assume every dataset is CC-BY-4.0: check the licence on the dataset's own page, since exceptions are individually negotiated and some datasets are under moratorium or require login.
