Summary

This database contains a comprehensive inventory of geologic (coral, coral reef, limestone, and sediment) cores and samples collected, analyzed, published, and/or archived by, or in collaboration with, the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (USGS SPCMSC). The SPCMSC Geologic Core and Sample Database includes geologic cores and samples collected beginning in the 1970s to present day, from study sites across the world. This database can be accessed through the CoreViewer 3.0 ArcOnline web mapping application, linked below. A copy of the data can also be downloaded from the web mapping application and the metadata is accessible through a link in the header of the application, as well as, through this [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this collection is to enhance discoverability for the St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center's Geologic Core and Sample Database, a comprehensive inventory of geologic samples collected, analyzed, published, and/or archived by, or in collaboration with, USGS SPCMSC. The database inventory has been compiled, organized, and released online to provide researchers and the general public with a means to discover and browse through information about physical samples and cores utilized by SPCMSC along with their associated metadata and publications. The database serves to ensure preservation of sample metadata for future research and reuse.
