Archive of Geosample Information from the Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI) Core Repository

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 09:32 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 31, 1985 at 12:00 AM
The Alfred-Wegener-Institut (AWI) made a one-time contribution to the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database of metadata describing 1820 piston, gravity, and box cores in their geological sample repository collected during 45 cruises of the Polarstern between February of 1983 and August of 1998. AWI cores described in the IMLGS are from above 60 degrees North Latitude or below 30 degrees South Latitude.
