The IMLGS is a collaboration between NCEI and multiple institutions (some supported by NSF) and government agencies, created by the institutions to offer common data about, and discovery/access to geological samples in their sample repository collections. The purpose of the IMLGS is to promote new research on existing samples. The database is maintained by NCEI under the guidance of a Curators Consortium, composed of representatives from the partner institutions. abstract: Geological samples collected as part of the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) Project are curated by the U.S. Geological Survey, a partner in the ECS Project. To date, dredges and cores have been collected from the Arctic Ocean floor, and small sediment samples have also been collected from the Bering Sea. According to ECS policy, application can be made by qualified researchers to the ECS Samples Curator to obtain portions of these samples for study. Related sample data, information, and images generated at sea, during ECS post-cruise working parties, and other research results are available for public access via the ECS Information Management System (ECS IMS) website maintained by NOAA's NCEI. Both ECS samples and related data are searchable through the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database maintained by NCEI. purpose: The first priority for geologic samples collected as part of the U.S. ECS Project is their application to delineating the U.S. ECS, however the ECS Task Force recognizes the important scientific value of these samples and encourages their study and the open publication of related scientific findings. The purpose of adding information about the ECS geological samples collection to the IMLGS is to promote new research on existing samples. credit: Samples were collected as part of the interagency ECS Project. status: (MD_ProgressCode) onGoing status: (MD_ProgressCode) historicalArchive pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) electronicMailAddress: ncei.info@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact name: NCEI Contact Information description: Information for contacts at NCEI. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information positionName: Marine Geology Data Manager contactInfo: (CI_Contact) address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 325 Broadway, Mail Code E/NE42 city: Boulder administrativeArea: CO postalCode: 80305-3328 country: USA electronicMailAddress: geology.info@noaa.gov role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) irregular maintenanceNote: ECS core data are collected infrequently, no new samples have been collected since 2012. graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/ECSsampleLocations.png fileDescription: image of sea floor sample locations fileType: PNG descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Databases keyword: Scientific archives keyword: Electronic records keyword: Ocean bottom keyword: Geology keyword: Submarine geology keyword: Marine sediments type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Library of Congress Subject Headings date: (unknown) citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: US Library of Congress contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects protocol: http applicationProfile: web browser name: Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) description: The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) are part of a Linked Data Service, actively maintained since 1898 to catalog materials held at the Library of Congress. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) resourceProvider descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Marine geology keyword: Rock and sediment lithology and mineralogy type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: SeaDataNet Common Vocabularies date: (unknown) citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: SeaDataNet contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: http://www.seadatanet.org/Standards-Software/Common-Vocabularies protocol: http applicationProfile: web browser name: SeaDataNet Common Vocabularies description: The SeaDataNet Vocabulary Server is populated with lists describing a wide range of entities relevant to marine metadata and data such as parameters, sea area names, platform classes, instrument types, and so on. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) resourceProvider descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Sea-floor characteristics type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: USGS Science Topics date: (unknown) citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: US Geological Survey contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www2.usgs.gov/science/about/ protocol: http applicationProfile: web browser name: USGS Thesaurus description: The USGS Thesaurus contains thematic terms for categorizing information resources intended to support finding and understanding scientific information. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information role: (CI_RoleCode) resourceProvider descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Marine Sediments keyword: Earth Science > Oceans > Marine Sediments > Sediment Composition type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2020-01-09 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) publication edition: 9.1 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Earth Science Data and Information System contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

The ECS project will address the terms of access and use of such data on a case-by-case basis in conjunction with the entity responsible for such data.
