World Data Service for Geophysics, Boulder

Core data from the
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP)
Legs 101-129

ODP CD-ROM.

This CD-ROM replaces the previous 1992 ODP CD-ROM set

NGDC (now NCEI) DATA ANNOUNCEMENT NUMBER: 01-MGG-02

DESCRIPTION

The new CD-ROM replaces the old version 1.0 ODP CD-ROM data set that was produced by the National Geophysical Data Center (now the National Centers for Environmental Information)with support from, and in cooperation with, the Joint Oceanographic Institutions, Inc./Ocean Drilling Program through a contract with the US National Science Foundation.

Data files on the new CD-ROM are offered in their original format as compiled by the ODP data management staff, and are also included in a new, tab-delimited format for easy upload into spreadsheet and database packages.

The CD-ROM contains data for legs 101-129 of the ODP. Data types include sediment and hardrock analyses. Downhole logging data and underway geophysical data are not included on the CD-ROM, paleontology data are also not included.
