Site Survey Data Bank

The ODP Site Survey Data Bank (SSDB) was located at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO), in Palisades, NY where it housed regional geophysical and site survey data submitted in support of proposed drilling programs. The SSDB assisted in the planning and development of ODP programs by (1) compiling packages of available data for each ODP program for review by various JOIDES advisory panels; and (2) supplying each shipboard party with the geophysical data necessary for proper conduct of scheduled drilling cruises.
