Research notes
It is an index of sources, not a repository: JRSO, MarE3, ESO, logging, SEDIS, SSDB, SaDR and Micropaleontological Reference Centers (more than 20,000 samples). Several links are old http ones. Terms in the 'IODP Sample, Data, and Obligations Policy' (not read); one-year moratorium according to SIO7. Samples are requested via SaDR and delivery implies accepting that policy. The page 'IODP Lessons Learned: Operational Challenges' could be of interest for operations (not read).
