National data center / repository for snow and ice data including snow, ice, glaciers, frozen ground, and climate interactions that make up Earth's cryosphere. The center manages and distributes scientific data, creates tools for data access, supports data users, performs scientific research, and educates the public about the cryosphere. Users may explore the Earth's frozen places in the collection of photographs and images. Photographs from field research trips, images captured by satellites of the changing cryosphere, and photos and images are available. Data sets are organized into the following groups: sea ice, frozen ground, snow cover, snow hydrology, glaciers and ice sheets, arctic people.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 2, 2025. Archives and distributes Antarctic glaciological and cryospheric system data collected by the U.S. Antarctic Program. The Data Catalog contains data sets collected by individual investigators and products assembled from many different PI data sets, published literature, and other sources. The catalog provides useful compilations of important geophysical parameters, such as accumulation rate or ice velocity. The NSF OPP Guidelines and Award Conditions for Scientific Data state that PIs should submit data collected as a result of their OPP grant to a designated data center as soon as possible, but no later than two years after the data are collected.

This matlab script and associated files will take resultant statistical images and essentially output everything you could ever want to know. It can work off of images that were previously corrected for multiple comparisons, but it can actually do the correction itself. This is because the cluster_correct script is incorporated within. It will iterate through atlases (borrowed from other software) to tell you the location of significant results. It outputs an extremely detailed report as well as a summary table for quick investigation. In addition, it will output statistics for each surviving cluster, and the image as a whole. Feedback would be much appreciated.

Core repository and one of the world's most unique and important collections of scientific samples from the deep sea. Sediment cores from every major ocean and sea are archived at the Core Repository. The collection contains approximately 72,000 meters of core composed of 9,700 piston cores; 7,000 trigger weight cores; and 2,000 other cores such as box, kasten, and large diameter gravity cores. They also hold 4,000 dredge and grab samples, including a large collection of manganese nodules, many of which were recovered by submersibles. Over 100,000 residues are stored and are available for sampling where core material is expended. In addition to physical samples, a database of the Lamont core collection has been maintained for nearly 50 years and contains information on the geographic location of each collection site, core length, mineralogy and paleontology, lithology, and structure, and more recently, the full text of megascopic descriptions. Samples from cores and dredges, as well as descriptions of cores and dredges (including digital images and other cruise information), are provided to scientific investigators upon request. Materials for educational purposes and museum displays may also be made available in limited quantities when requests are adequately justified. Various services and data analyses, including core archiving, carbonate analyses, grain size analyses, and RGB line scan imaging, GRAPE, P-wave velocity and magnetic susceptibility runs, can also be provided at cost. The Repository operates a number of labs and instruments dedicated to making fundamental measurements on material entering the repository including several non-destructive methods. Instruments for conducting and/or assisting with analyses of deep-sea sediments include a GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger, a UIC coulometer, a Micromeritics sedigraph, Vane Shear, X-radiograph, Sonic Sifter, freeze dryer, as well as a variety of microscopes, sieves, and sampling tools. They also make these instruments available to the scientific community for conducting analyses of deep-sea sediments. If you are interested in borrowing any field equipment, please contact the Repository Curator.

National repository for geological materials collected in polar regions housing over 20,000 meters of deep-sea core sediment and over 5,000 kg of dredge, trawl, and grab samples, the largest such Southern Ocean collection in the world. These materials have been acquired from over 90 USAP research vessel cruises. The Facility also houses and curates nearly 3,000 meters of rotary cored geological material acquired by NSF supported drilling programs in the Antarctic. Replacement cost of this core inventory in terms of ship and ice-based drilling is conservatively estimated to be in the range of $150 to $200M. SESAR or the the System for Earth Sample Registration is a service provided by the IDEA. SESAR operates the registry that distributes the International Geo Sample Number IGSN. SESAR catalogs and preserves sample metadata profiles, and provides access to the sample catalog via the Global Sample Search. Facility services include: <br /> * curation of the existing collections at the facility <br /> * onsite ship and land based curatorial services <br /> * receipt and processing of new cores <br /> * core description and publication of core descriptions <br /> * distribution of samples from the collection to authorized scientists <br /> * hosting of scientific meetings and workshops <br /> * tours, lectures, and student education and training in Antarctic geoscience <br /> * maintenance of: <br /> ** a core and sample database <br /> ** an Antarctic geology and marine geology reference library and a searchable End Note computer database of the entire collection <br /> ** a satellite IODP/MRC for nannofossils and diatoms

Experimental datasets of crystal structures and binding affinities for diverse protein-ligand complexes. Some datasets are generated in house while others are collected from the literature or deposited by academic labs, national centers, and the pharmaceutical industry. For the community to improve their approaches, they need exceptional datasets to train scoring functions and develop new docking algorithms. They aim to provide the highest quality data for a diverse collection of proteins and small molecule ligands. They need input from the community in developing target priorities. Ideal targets will have many high-quality crystal structures (apo and 10-20 bound to diverse ligands) and affinity data for 25 compounds that range in size, scaffold, and logP. It is best if the ligand set has several congeneric series that span a broad range of affinity, with low nanomolar to mid-micromolar being most desirable. They prefer Kd data over Ki data over IC50 data (no % activity data). They will determine solubility, pKa, logP/logD data for the ligands whenever possible. They have augmented some donated IC50 data by determining Kon/Koff and ITC data.
