The LDEO Deep-Sea Repository and the Curating and Maintenance of the Sediment Library and Dredge Collection

根据这一合同，项目研究员将负责管理拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站深海样品库，该库拥有世界上最大的世界主要海洋沉积物岩心收藏。 收集的总规模超过18，760个岩心和3，750个挖泥船。 这些岩心具有高分辨率研究的潜力，使这一系列资料处于关注气候突变的最前沿。 在过去三年的提案期内，向世界各地的89名科学家和教师分发了30 076份样本，并在样本中增加了324个新的核心。 除了实际的沉积物和岩石样本外，处置库还将使用传感器阵列被动处理岩心材料：多传感器、岩心测井、x射线照相、磁化率、彩色光谱和灰度分析。 数据将以计算机搜索、取样历史信息、数字化岩心描述和使用LDEO材料后的出版物的形式提供。

Under this award the PIs will be responsible for the curation of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) Deep-Sea Sample Repository (D-SSR) which contains the world's largest collection of sediment cores from the major world oceans and seas. Total size of the collection is over 18,760 cores and 3,750 dredges. The cores with their potential for high-resolution research position this collection at the forefront of the focus on abrupt climate change. During the past three-year proposal period, 30,076 samples from the collection were distributed to 89 scientists and teachers throughout the world, and 324 new cores were added to the collection. In addition to actual sediment and rock samples the repository will passively process core material using and array of sensors: multi-sensor, corelogging, x-radiography, magnetic susceptibility, color spectra, and grey-scale analysis. Data will be given out in the form of computer searches, information on sampling history, digitized core descriptions, and on publications resulting from use of LDEO material.
