If you were at the #IODP Town Hall last night at #AGU2019 and saw the acronym e-ODP, I'll explain:
eODP is an NSF- @EarthCube funded effort to, in simple terms, put ocean drilling stratigraphy (litho- & chrono-) into @UWMacrostrat and microfossils into @PaleoDB. But there's more! eODP operates under the assumption that stratigraphy is the key data underlying ALL scientific ocean drilling data. The age and environmental setting for deposition is required to understand the context of other data we'd like to include in meta-analytical studies.
