Archive of Geosample Data and Information from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) Samples Repository
The U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) Pacific Coastal
and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) Samples Repository is a partner in the Index to
Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database. The Curator sends data
and information related to the PCMSC marine geological sample collection to NCEI to
increase their discoverability via the IMLGS. Selected data, documents, and images
related to the collection are also archived at NCEI and discoverable via the IMLGS,
but the USGS is the authoritative source for all data and information related to USGS
geological samples.

Data Presentation Form | Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed,
especially in columns |
Dataset Progress Status | Ongoing - data is continually being updated Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility |
Data Update Frequency | Irregular - The repository contributes data to the NCEI archive and to the IMLGS as new samples are added to their collection, as resources allow. |
Supplemental Information |
Additonal related data and information are available directly from the contributing
institution, which is the authoritative and most current source of data and information
related to their sample collection. The IMLGS contains a subset of summary metadata
from the institutional database. Dr. James Gardner, former Curator of the USGS West
Coast Sample Repository, participated in design of the original IMLGS.
|
Purpose | Information about USGS marine geosample collections is archived at NCEI to promote public access to research results and to increase their discoverability via the IMLGS. |

Lineage Statement | Data are received by NCEI on an intermittent basis from the repository. Incoming data are checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI adds IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and may perform cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies. NCEI informs the originator upon ingest of data to the IMLGS database, after which the originator provides one final quality control using the IMLGS map viewer. Data may also be updated/corrected at any time at the originator's request. |
