Data Update Frequency Not planned - RSMAS core data in the IMLGS were contributed prior to, and have not been updated since approximately 1978.
Additonal samples, data, and information are available directly from the contributing institution, which is the authoritative and most current source of data and information related to their sample collection. The IMLGS contains a subset of summary metadata from the institutional database. Information about the RSMAS geological sample collection was contributed to the IMLGS by Dr. Martin Perlmutter, former Curator, in 1978. RSMAS participated in the design of the original IMLGS database.
Purpose The purpose of adding information about the RSMAS geological samples collection to the IMLGS was to promote new research on existing samples, and to preserve geospatial information about geological samples on which RSMAS research results were based.
The RSMAS core repository received funding from NOAA and NSF at the time the data were contributed to the IMLGS.
Please consult the Curator before proposing research on any sample discovered through the IMLGS or NCEI.

Lineage Statement Data are no longer received by NCEI from this repository. Incoming data were checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI added IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and performed cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies.
Processing Environment Native Dataset Environment: database tables with auxiliary text and PDF documents.
