项目摘要

This proposal requests funding for curatorial activities at the Marine Geological Samples Laboratory (MGSL) of the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO). The facility serves as the central repository for marine geological samples collected by faculty, staff and students of the Graduate School. The present collection consists of 1813 deep sea cores, 586 dredge samples and 763 coastal and deep-sea grab samples. During the past three years there has been a continued strong demand for sediment core and dredge rock samples distributed from the MGSL to qualified investigators. Information about the sample collection at URI is now available online through the MGSL website with interactive maps for determining sample distribution. It is anticipated that sample request demand will continue to grow as new cores and dredge samples are added to the collection. URI has demonstrated its institutional commitment to the facility through the hiring of three new faculty members at the GSO who all have active research programs that will utilize existing, and provide new, seafloor samples to the MGSL. During the next three years, proposed activities will include curation of new core and dredge rock samples, further description of existing samples, enhancement of the MGSL website, submittal of sample information to the NGDC core curators' database, routine logging for new core acquisitions, and a new initiative to register all repository samples with the System for Earth Sample Registration

该提案要求在海洋学研究生院（GSO）的海洋地质样品实验室（MGSL）上资助策展活动。该设施是研究生院教职员工和学生收集的海洋地质样本的中央存储库。目前的收藏包括1813个深海岩心，586种挖泥机和763个沿海和深海抢购样品。在过去的三年中，从MGSL分发到合格的研究人员，对沉积物核心和挖泥岩样品的需求持续强。现在可以通过MGSL网站在线获得有关URI样本收集的信息，并带有用于确定样本分布的交互式图。预计随着新的核心和疏edge样品被添加到收藏中，样本请求要求将继续增长。 URI通过在GSO的三名新教职员工聘用，他们都有积极的研究计划，并向MGSL提供了新的海底样品，从而证明了其机构对设施的承诺。在接下来的三年中，拟议的活动将包括新核心和挖泥岩样品的策划，现有样品的进一步描述，增强MGSL网站的增强，将示例信息提交给NGDC核心策展人的数据库，常规记录新的核心收购以及新的启动型样品，以注册所有备用样本样品，以注册用于接地样品的系统。
