Archive of Geosample Information from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel 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, 1993 at 12:00 AM
The GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel made a one-time contribution to the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database of metadata describing 2415 grabs and piston, gravity, vibrating, and box cores in their geological sample repository collected during 82 cruises of multiple ships prior to 1994. GEOMAR cores described in the IMLGS are primarily in the North Atlantic Ocean with additional samples collected in the Mediterran Sea, and South Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
