The IODP SSDB supported the proposal process of the International Ocean Discovery Program by holding data submitted in support of IODP proposals and expeditions, for use by panelists, reviewers, operators and, when permission was granted, the general public.
Following the end of the IODP program, the IODP SSDB closed operations in 2025. A new SSDB supporting the US Scientific Ocean Drilling program is in development.
The IODP SSDB no longer serves as a public data access point. Site Survey Data related to a subset of the IODP expeditions, when available, are now accessible from Zenodo and are linked from the IODP Publications page.
If you are a proponent looking for data you submitted to the IODP SSDB in the past, please contact us.
