Under this award the PIs will be responsible for the duration of the Oregon State University/College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences ocean core repository. Since its establishment in 1972 the repository has collected and described over 13,037 meters of sediment samples, 14,700 rocks, 2200 deep-sea manganese nodules, 1537 sediment trap samples, 693 plankton tow samples, and other materials have been archived and described with continuous NSF funding. Over 34,340 samples have been distributed since 2000. This represents a 300% increase in sampling activity relative to the previous grant period. Since 1972 the repository has expanded and modernized five times most recently in 2002 with expansion of weatherproof rock storage. Additional expansion of refrigerator storage for sediment cores, and freezer storage for ice cores, will take place in the next three-year grant period.

根据该合同，PI将负责俄勒冈州州立大学/海洋和大气科学学院海洋核心储存库的持续时间。 自1972年建立以来，该储存库已收集和描述了超过13，037米的沉积物样品，14，700块岩石，2200个深海锰结核，1537个沉积物捕集器样品，693个浮游生物拖曳样品，以及在NSF持续资助下存档和描述的其他材料。 自2000年以来，已分发了34 340多份样本。 这意味着与上一个赠款期相比，抽样活动增加了300%。自1972年以来，该储存库已经扩大和现代化了五次，最近一次是在2002年，扩大了防风雨岩石储存。在下一个三年赠款期内，将进一步扩大沉积物芯的冰箱储存和冰芯的冷冻储存。
