Core Photographs and Digital Images
Whole-Core Photographs
Whole-core photos are available in black-and-white 8 × 10 inch prints, 35-mm color slides, or scanned images (high-resolution TIFF files). Requests can be made to the Data Librarian. Please include the DSDP/ODP/IODP core-naming convention when placing requests (i.e., Leg-Site-Hole-Core). IODP whole-core photos are available only through Expedition 312.
Low-resolution whole-core images (300 dpi; PDF files) can be obtained from the Janus database Core Photo query.
Digital Images of Core Sections
Line-scan digital images of the archive-half core sections captured with the Digital Imaging System can be obtained starting with ODP Leg 198 from the Janus database Core Photo query or LIMS.
Close-up Photographs
Close-up photographs are available in black-and-white 8 × 10 inch prints, 35-mm color slides, or scanned digital images (high-resolution TIF files). Requests can be made to the Data Librarian. Please include the ODP/IODP core-naming convention when placing requests (i.e., Leg-Site-Hole-Core-Section-Top interval). Requests can only be made for close-up photos taken during a cruise. Close-up photos can be obtained starting with DSDP Leg 46 from the Janus database Closeup Photo query or LIMS.
Moratorium
Access to these files is subject to usually a 1-year moratorium after the end of each expedition. The moratorium period can be longer if sampling takes place postcruise.
