The Site Survey Data Bank (SSDB) is a repository for site
survey data submitted in support of International Ocean Discovery
Program (IODP)
proposals and expeditions. SSDB serves different roles for
different sets of users:
Science Community
SSDB is a resource for the general science community to access
drilling-related data submitted in the past. Without an SSDB
account, you can use SSDBquery and SSDBlegacy to find data
that may be of interest; however, you will not be able to
download data without registering
for a basic user account.
IODP Proponents
SSDBproponent is the main tool for scientists submitting drilling
proposals to IODP to upload site survey data and create data packages in support of
their proposals. It works in conjunction with the
Proposal Database (PDB), the
system through which IODP proposal documents are submitted.
Please see the Information
for Proponents for further links and guidance. To access
the proposal upload tools, you must have a proponent account:
first register for a basic
user account on SSDB, if you do not have one (a PDB account will also work in SSDB). Then log in to
SSDB and use the My Account tool to request access to a
specific proposal number. Within 1-2 business days, after validation
by IODP, you should receive a confirmation email that you
have been given proponent access to that proposal.
IODP Reviewers
SSDBreviewer provides IODP panel members and external peer reviewers
with tools for searching and viewing data
associated with proposals they are reviewing. To initiate
reviewer access, please create a basic user account by registering, if you do not
already have one. IODP will then provide you with reviewer
credentials and then you can use the My Account
tool to request access to the specific proposals you will
review.
