Extending Ocean Drilling Pursuits (eODP) will build a unified scientific ocean drilling database system based on stratigraphy, or the age and environment of sedimentary deposition. The project will establish an accessible repository of stratigraphic and microfossil data by linking the meta-stratigraphic data. eODP will link and enhance three existing database structures: Open Core Data (OCD), the Paleobiology Database, and Macrostrat to facilitate curation, access, and visualization of large microfossil and marine stratigraphic datasets. eODP data will be served to the mobile app Flyover Country, to explain the importance of significant sites. A search function will search for time interval, lithology, taxon, or fossil preservation, allowing users to quickly find useful sections upon which to construct geochemical records. The project will also broaden participation of female and underrepresented minority students in science. Minority high school girls in Academy's Women In Natural Sciences (WINS) program will attend a geology and paleontology field course, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of minority women who pursue college degrees and careers in the geosciences.Sediment cores recovered over the past 50 years have provided a record of deep sea microfossil assemblages and their evolution and has documented changes in sedimentation from around the world. Entering these microfossil groups into the PBDB will allow biodiversity studies, for example, on robust species-level records. Depositional environments that are stable and continuous on million-year timescales permit investigations into how the largest biome on the planet survives through environmental shifts, vital to understanding the challenges ahead of humanity. Large-scale stratigraphic projects will be able to study controls on oceanic sedimentation and relate this to climate, tectonics, and primary production trends over several million years. eODP will augment existing Macrostrat schema to allow for additional age-diagnostic criteria and populate Macrostrat with shipboard ocean drilling lithostratigraphy and age models from OCD. PBDB will be populated with shipboard microfossil occurrences from OCD and the project will develop user interfaces for PBDB and Macrostrat to enable data entry and download of all eODP data.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

扩展大洋钻探目标（eODP）将建立一个统一的基于地层学或沉积物沉积时代和环境的科学大洋钻探数据库系统。该项目将通过连接元地层学数据，建立一个可供查阅的地层学和微化石数据库。eODP将连接和增强三个现有的数据库结构：开放核心数据（OCD），古生物学数据库和Macrostrat，以促进大型微化石和海洋地层数据集的管理，访问和可视化。eODP数据将提供给移动的应用程序Flyover Country，以解释重要站点的重要性。搜索功能将搜索时间间隔、岩性、分类或化石保存，允许用户快速找到有用的部分，以构建地球化学记录。该项目还将扩大女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生对科学的参与。参加该学院自然科学妇女项目的少数民族高中女生将参加地质学和古生物学领域的课程，最终目标是增加攻读大学学位和从事地球科学职业的少数民族妇女的人数。过去50年中发现的沉积物岩心提供了深海微化石组合及其演变的记录，并记录了世界各地沉积物的变化。将这些微体化石群输入PBDB将有助于生物多样性研究，例如，对物种一级的可靠记录进行研究。在百万年时间尺度上稳定且连续的沉积环境允许调查地球上最大的生物群落如何在环境变化中生存，这对于了解人类面临的挑战至关重要。大规模的地层学项目将能够研究海洋沉积的控制因素，并将其与数百万年来的气候、构造和初级生产趋势联系起来。eODP将增强现有的Macrostrat模式，以允许额外的年龄诊断标准，并使用OCD的船上海洋钻探岩石地层学和年龄模型填充Macrostrat。PBDB将填充来自OCD的船上微体化石事件，该项目将开发PBDB和Macrostrat的用户界面，以实现所有eODP数据的数据输入和下载。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
