How to Obtain ODP Data Distribution of scientific data gathered by the Ocean Drilling Program is restricted to the members of the appropriate scientific party for 12 months after the end of the cruise.
All data are then available to the public.
Most requests can be answered quickly and free of charge. If a charge is made to recover expenses, an invoice will be sent and must be paid before the request is processed. Members of the ODP Database Group are available to consult with you about your data requirements. ODP encourages you to make use of its services.
