The Antarctic Seismic Data Library System (SDLS) works under the auspices of Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the Antarctic Treaty (ATCM XVI-12) to provide open access to all multichannel seismic-reflection data collected south of 60° S to study the structure of the earth's crust of Antarctica. This page provides links to answers for many common questions about the SDLS, and how the library system can be used by all researchers.
