Shipboard data distribution
Log data are distributed onboard the JOIDES Resolution to all shipboard scientific participants, both digitally and in paper format. Details can be found in the shipboard data availability section of the data acquisition page. Shipboard integration of logs with core data and seismic sections is possible using the Sagan software package; more information on data processing and analysis can be found on the data processing page of this manual, which also describes the corrections that are applied to various log data types.
Shore-based data distribution
After the drilling leg is completed, processed digital log data are placed on-line by ODP Logging Services for use by the shipboard scientific party. The data are considered proprietary for one year, accessible only to shipboard scientists via a password security system implemented after the cruise. One year after the conclusion of the cruise, the password is lifted and data are accessible to all interested investigators. For additional details, see the on-line data section of this manual.
ODP Logging Services also creates a CD-ROM of log data that is distributed with each volume of the Initial Reports. Details can be found on the log data CD-ROM page.
Shore-based investigators whose requests for log data have been approved by the shipboard scientific party may obtain log data during the one year data moratorium. It is strongly suggested that such requests be submitted before the drilling leg, in order to expedite the request approval process. Shore-based investigators who obtain either core or log data are subject to the same publishing restrictions and obligations as members of the shipboard scientific party. A detailed discussion of the ODP publication policy can be found on the publications page of the Science Operator's web site:
