Texas A and M University (TAMU), JOIDES Resolution Science Operator of the International
Ocean Discovery Program (IODP), is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine
Geological Samples (IMLGS) database, contributing information to the IMLGS to help
researchers discover geological samples curated in their facility. The IODP core repositories
archive and make available core material from the current IODP, and also from its
predecessor programs, the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), Ocean Drilling Program
(ODP), and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). Core material is available to
researchers through the IODP Curator. TAMU also contributed information to the IMLGS
describing cores from the former IODP and ODP in their role as Science Operator for
those programs. Information describing DSDP cores for the IMLGS was prepared by the
former DSDP data management group operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography
(SIO). TAMU periodically sends post-moratorium IODP core data, documents, and imagery
to NCEI for long-term archive. The latest IODP data, and full-resolution TIFF images
are available from the Data Librarian at TAMU. Full-resolution TIFF images in the
NCEI archive are offline only. |
