SOURCE: Information provided by the Ocean Sciences (OCE) division of the National Science Foundation (NSF) * Prior to 1983, funds for the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) were separate from OCE. However, in order to make it comparable to the data for 1984-1997, the budget data for OCE from 1970-1983 shown here, includes ODP funding. |
