New Zealand Active Source Seismic Data Resource a national archive which holds data and interpretation derived from active-source seismic investigation within the NZ ECS. It contains data from both commercial exploration and research experiments. It is managed as a collection of datasets.

Catalogue and physical store of scientific data acquisition, (especially seismic) and processing media held at GNS. Formerly known as both STAMP (Seismic Tape and Metadata Catalogue) and Resource Group Media Library The archive consists of more than 7,500 media objects (tape, discs of various kinds) spread over multiple formats, containing a wide variety of data. From unique, only-known copies of field data, to personal home directory backups, to unlabelled tapes with unknown contents. A majority of the media contains raw or processed seismic and other scientific data and related documentation. The remaining sundry includes personal backups of current and former GNS staff and many collections of data of unknown type, origin and format. These data have been maintained for the benefit of the New Zealand public and scientific community Some of the more valuable data are original or duplicate seismic field tapes and older surveys which can no longer be duplicated, such as over Antarctic ice shelves. Several of these sets have been identified as potentially the only existing copy of the data.

Over many years, GNS Science has developed a large number of datasets, spatial and otherwise, to characterise the petroleum systems within the NZ Exclusive Economic Zone and Extended Continental Shelf. These include petroleum exploration data mined from open file NZP&M Petroleum Reports (PR's) and GNS Science research data generated from reviews of PR's. It also includes data and interpretations developed from GNS Science research programmes, including reprocessing of seismic data, borehole log interpretation and processing, geological reconstructions, 3D and 4D models, etc. The Petroleum Basin Explorer web application is a good starting point for exploration GNS Science petroleum systems data. A lot of this data has been condensed into the public Atlas of Petroleum Prospectivity (see associated record) but other data sets are private to GNS Science.

The seismic interpretation library contains interpretative data from our active seismic investigations. It contains data from both commercial and research experiments and is stored in the Epos(Paradigm) database.
