Copyright Statement

IODP data and samples are typically protected by a 1-year postcruise moratorium, during which time data and samples from a particular expedition are available only to that expedition’s science party and approved shore-based participants. Longer moratorium periods will be in effect for expeditions where sampling takes place postcruise at a shore-based repository.
