2017-2020 Provision of log data reduction and database services for scientific ocean drilling

第一部分：在之前的综合海洋钻探计划中，NSF通过与海洋领导联盟(COL)签订合同，支持美国钻井船JOIDES Resolve(JR)的运营。作为主承包商，科尔负责监督德州农工大学(作为运营JR的“主承包商”)和哥伦比亚大学(作为“伐木承包商”)的分包合同。在Pi Goldberg的领导下，井下研究小组提供井下测井服务，包括管理测井分包商斯伦贝谢以及减少测井数据和质量控制，以及管理IODP测井数据库。这些测井服务主要是在钻井中远程进行的地球物理测量，如井壁岩石或沉积物(地层)的电阻率、地球化学、地震性质或磁性。在当前的国际海洋发现计划中，美国国家科学基金会与德克萨斯农工大学签订了一份新的合作协议，作为JOIDES分辨率科学运营商(JRSO)取代了2015财年的合同。在授予本合同时，人们认识到有必要维持IODP日志数据库以及根据以前的伐木分包合同提供的数据减少和质量控制活动，而授予合同时联合研究组织不能轻易或廉价地提供这些活动。因此，国家科学基金会向PI授予了在2015-2017财年提供这些服务的3年期合同(OCE-1440495)，这一安排运作得很好，在审查JR设施2015财年和2016年运营业绩的两个独立小组审查期间没有发现任何问题。该奖项是对PI继续提供这些船载井下测井数据服务的新奖励，包括数据简化和质量控制以及对包含这些测井数据的数据库的支持。第2部分：该奖项将为以下三年的服务提供支持，这些服务也是根据之前授予PI的NSF奖提供的：1)由测井分包商斯伦贝谢对JOIDES决议钻井船国际海洋发现计划(IODP)上采集的测井数据进行快速数据简化和质量控制，并随后将减少的数据近乎实时地返回到钻井船上的探险科学小组；2)在哥伦比亚大学现有的IODP测井数据库LogDB内对原始和简化的测井数据进行存档；3)维护和增强从LogDB自动查询和检索数据的网络服务，包括开发新的图形工具；4)改进LogDB，包括发布每个测井记录数据集的数字对象识别符(DOI)，并提供LogDB与其他数据库之间的互操作性5)向国家环境信息中心提交全套原始和处理后的数据以供深度存档；以及6)为LogDB用户，特别是新手提供支持。

Part 1:In the previous Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, NSF supported operation of the U.S. drillship JOIDES Resolution (JR) through a contract to the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL). COL, as prime contractor, oversaw subcontracts to Texas A&M University (as "Prime Contractor" for operating the JR) and Columbia University (as "Logging Contractor"). The Borehole Research Group (BRG), under PI Goldberg, provided downhole logging services that included management of the logging subcontractor Schlumberger as well as logging data reduction and quality control, and management of the IODP logging database. These logging services are primarily geophysical measurements done remotely in the drilled borehole, such as borehole wall rock or sediment (formation) resistivity, geochemistry, seismic properties, or magnetic properties.In the current International Ocean Discovery Program, a new NSF Cooperative Agreement to Texas A&M University as JOIDES Resolution Science Operator (JRSO) replaced the contract for FY2015. At the time of this award, it was recognized that a need existed to maintain the IODP logging database and the data reduction and quality control activities provided under the previous logging subcontract, activities that the JRSO at award could not easily or inexpensively provide. Thus, NSF made a 3 year award to the PI to provide these services in FY 2015-2017 (OCE-1440495), an arrangement that has worked very well, with no issues identified during review by two independent NSF panels examining JR facility operations performance in FY2015 and 2016. This award represents a new award to the PI to continue to provide these shipboard downhole logging data services, including data reduction and quality control and support of a database containing these logging data.Part 2:The award will provide support for three years of the following services, also provided under a previous NSF Award to the PI: 1) Rapid data reduction and quality control of logging data acquired aboard JOIDES Resolution drillship International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expeditions by the logging subcontractor Schlumberger, with subsequent return of the reduced data in near real-time to the Expedition Science Party aboard the drillship; 2) Archiving of raw and reduced logging data within the existing IODP logging database LogDB housed at Columbia University; 3) maintain and enhance web services for automated query and retrieval of data from LogDB, including development of new graphical tools; 4) provide enhancements to LogDB, including publishing Digital Object Identifiers (DOI's) for each well log dataset and also providing interoperability between LogDB and other databases 5) Submit full sets of raw and processed data for deep archiving to the National Centers for Environmental Information; and 6) provide support for LogDB users, especially neophytes.
