The Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) operated the drilling vessel JOIDES Resolution from
1984-2003 for over 100 cruises worldwide. The ODP was funded by the U.S. National
Science Foundation and several countries through the Joint Oceanographic Institutions
for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES). In 2005, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)
received a complete extract of prime scientific data from the ODP JANUS relational
database for permanent archival at NGDC. Data include all of the digital sediment,
and hard-rock data collected on all legs of the program stored in the JANUS database
as of December 2005. Data types include: 1) Bulk density estimation by gamma-ray attenuation
densiometry (gra), 2) Carbon carbonate (carb), 3) Discrete p-wave velocity (pws1,
pws2, pws3), 4) Downhole temperature (temp), 5) Gas chromatography (gas), 6) Inductively
coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrometry (icp-aes), 7) Interstitial water (iw),
8) Magnetic susceptibility (msl), 9) Moisture and density (mad), 10) Natural gamma
radiation (ngr), 11) Palemagnetism (pmag), 12) P-wave velocity logger (pwl), 13) Reflectance
spectrophotometry and colorimetry (rsc), 14) Rock evaluation (re), 15) Shear strength
(avs, pen, tor), 16) Thermal conductivity (tcon), 17) X-ray diffraction (xrd), and
18) X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (xrf). In 2007, NGDC received a complete copy
of digital core photographs and closeup core photographs as high-resolution TIFF images
from IODP for the ODP cores. Additional scanned microphotographs, photographs, and
descriptive data were received in 2013. The photos are archived and available on request,
but not offered online due to their volume. The data and images described above are
distinct from the former data for ODP legs 101-129 published by NGDC on CDROM in both
content and format. |
