IODP provides pdf, jpg, and eps maps of drilled sites from all scientific ocean drilling programs through the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator. To add and visualize data in Google Earth or through other formats, IODP also maintains the following files:
- Drilled Holes: Provides the location of all holes drilled during the scientific ocean drilling programs. Holes are added to these files once the Preliminary Report for the expedition is published. If available, water depth, meters of core recovered, links to core and log data, and links to the visual core description are provided. These files were last updated with available data in September 2024.
- Scheduled Expeditions: Contains the location of proposed sites for planned expeditions until the expedition's Preliminary Report is published. Once the Preliminary Report is published, the expedition is moved to the Drilled Holes files. The Schedule Expedition files contain the expedition name, site name and coordinates, planned expedition dates, original proposal number, platform, co-chiefs, and a link to the expedition website. The data is collected the Scientific Prospectus or the drilling proposal, and the files were last updated in September 2024.
- Proposed Sites: Shows the location of all sites in Active Proposals that were under review or awaiting scheduling as of the end of IODP. Sites from declined proposals are not included. The files contain the proposal name, site names and coordinates, lead proponent, review stage, and proposed platform. Sites from revisions, updates, and addenda might not be included.
Other Drill Site Maps for all IODP programs are periodically maintained and available from the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator.
