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
(JOI). In 1992, the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) placed most of the core
data from legs 101-129 of the ODP onto CDROM in cooperation with NSF and JOI. The
data are from an ODP relational database system in place prior to the later, JANUS,
system. Not all of the data in this archive were transferred to JANUS, so some data
files are unique. In 2001, the CDROM was replaced by a new version with an HTML interface,
and also placed online. Data types included are: Age profile, carbon-carbonate, corelog,
gas chromatography, gamma ray attenuation porositoy evaluator (GRAPE) special 2-minute
counts, hard-rock visual core descriptions, hard-rock thin section descriptions, index
properties of sediment, interstitial water chemistry, paleomagnetic susceptibility
and intensity, rock evaluator data, sedimentary lithology, site summary, smearslide
descriptions, velocity, and x-ray fluorescence data. |
