Ocean Drilling Program Log Database

ODP log data fall into two categories. (1) Conventional logs: electrical, density, porosity, gamma ray, and acoustic (not waveforms) data. (2) Other logs: Formation MicroScanner (FMS), Geologic High Resolution Magnetic Tool (GHMT), and Temperature data. Conventional logs are generally sent via satellite to LDEO-BRG for immediate processing; other data are processed post-cruise. Additional data collected with specialty tools such as the Borehole Televiewer, VSP etc. do not undergo routine processing. Processed conventional logs are available on-line through the ODP Logging Services web site at http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/BRG. The web site offers a catalog of all the log data available in the LDEO-BRG archive, as well as forms to request data not currently available on-line. Shipboard party members are informed of the availability of the processed conventional data from their leg shortly after the end of the leg.
