This database is a collaboration between multiple institutions and government agencies, some of which are supported by the National Science Foundation to participate. The database is managed by NGDC on behalf of the curators' consortium of representatives from these institutions. Participating (current and former) institutions include: Antarctic Research Facility Florida State University (ARFFSU), Bedford Institute of Oceanography (Canada), Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO), National Lacustrine Core Repository at the University of Minnesota (LacCore), Oregon State University (OSU), Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (ODP and DSDP), NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Marine Laboratories (AOML), Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences University of Miami (RSMAS), Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California (SIO), School of Ocean and Earth Science Technology University of Hawaii (SOEST), University of Wisconsin-Madison (U WISC), University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography (URI), University of Southern California (USC), US Geological Survey (USGS), University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UT), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and the British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF) at the Southampton Oceanography Centre. Samples are also included from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and IFM-GEOMAR in Germany, although samples from these institutions are no longer actively being added.

Description:
Abstract:
The Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples, also known as the Core Curators' Data Base, contains inventory and basic lithology, texture, and age information for samples archived by participating oceanographic institutions and government agencies, in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Most samples are available for further study, on request from the individual repository. Listings from the file include institutional contact information. Data are coded at the curatorial facility and include ship, cruise, sample id, latitude/longitude, water depth, date of sample collection, sampling device, storage method, core diameter/length and interval within core (if applicable), primary and secondary lithology and texture or rock type and mineralogy, other noted components, remarks and weathering notes, age, province, principal investigator, and descriptive comments. All samples include basic collection information, but not all samples have additional descriptors. The Index includes over 300,000 data records containing information for over 182,900 discrete sea floor and lakebed cores, grabs, dredges, and drill holes worldwide, as of December 2007. The Index is searchable by any parameter or combination of parameters. The database was designed by representatives of the curatorial facilities in cooperation with NGDC through a series of meetings sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), beginning in 1977, and NSF continues to support coding of data into the Index. The Index is fully searchable via a www-forms interface on Internet, or via an interactive map interface, both accessible through NGDC's Web site.
Purpose:
Environmental and climate research aid. Designed to help researchers locate sea floor and lakebed geological samples for further analysis.
