IODP

Notice: The Site Survey Data Bank (SSDB) will close on September 30, 2025, as part of the conclusion of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). After this time, access to the system and its contents will no longer be available. If you have submitted data to the SSDB and wish to retain a copy, please ensure you download it prior to the shutdown date.


If you have not used the SSDB or PDB (proposals.iodp.org) before, you will first need to register for a basic user account. Then you will need to log in to your account, select "My Account" and "Request Change" to request access to a specific proposal number. Within a few days, after validation by the IODP Science Support Office, you should receive a confirmation email that you have been given proponent access to that proposal. You are now ready to upload files to your proposal.
