DATA MANAGEMENT

		The goals of IMAGES demand that collected data are archived and data exchange is made possible   Ultimately, results should be freely accessible for the entire scientific community.   The database program is managed in close collaboration with the World Data Center for palaeoclimatology in Boulder (USA) and the World Data Center "WDC-Mare" with its front end PANGAEA (located at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany)

Cruise participants and related scientists (e.g. shore-based scientists active in the planning of specific cruises) will have a two-year period of exclusive access to the samples and data collected in IMAGES operations. The data will be made available to the whole scientific community at the end of that two-year period.

Check the core database for available data of specific cores. Click the core-id in order to start a direct retrieval at PANGAEA. You are then presented the list of datasets, available for this core.

When you want to work on a specific core check the Activity Database for the person / institution working on the core, contact those people, and send request for samples.
