The OSU/COAS repository serves as a resource to the US science community. Its mission is to archive and distribute geological samples, predominantly sediment cores, rocks, nodules and sediment trap samples, for scientific research and education. The repository was established in 1972 and since that time 14,447 meters of sediment samples, 10,185 rocks, 2200 deep-sea manganese nodules, 1574 sediment trap samples, 693 plankton tow samples, and other materials have been archived and described with continuous NSF funding. In the past three years, the collection of sediment cores has grown by over 1400 m and almost 800 new rock samples from Alvin and ROV operations have been added. Over 45,145 samples were distributed from this archive to scientists, educators, and museums throughout the United States, and to researchers in foreign countries, a 30% increase over the previous three years. In addition to providing samples for scientific research, this award will advance the state of the art in repository service and improve the scientific use of core and rock descriptions by continuing to develop and make available to the community advanced tools for core logging and digital imaging. Data analyzed by the repository will be available via national databases Broader Impact The core repository provides a valuable service to the Marine Geology & Geophysics community as well as international scientists. The repository supports graduate, undergraduate and K-12 learning through classes and periodic open house tours of the facility for the public. Repository products are disseminated widely, both through our web page (http://corelab-www.oce.orst.edu) and through the National Geologic Data Center (NGDC: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/curator).

OSU/COAS储存库是美国科学界的资源。其任务是存档和分发地质样品，主要是沉积岩芯、岩石、结核和沉积物圈闭样品，用于科学研究和教育。该储存库建立于1972年，自那时以来，14,447米的沉积物样本，10,185块岩石，2200个深海锰结核，1574个沉积物捕捉器样本，693个浮游生物拖曳样本，以及其他材料都得到了NSF持续的资金支持和描述。在过去的三年里，沉积物岩芯的采集量增加了1400多米，并增加了来自Alvin和ROV作业的近800个新的岩石样本。这个档案馆向美国各地的科学家、教育工作者和博物馆以及外国的研究人员分发了超过45145份样本，比前三年增加了30%。除了为科学研究提供样本外，该奖项还将通过继续开发和向社区提供用于岩心测井和数字成像的先进工具，促进储存库服务的最先进水平，并改善岩心和岩石描述的科学使用。该储存库分析的数据将通过国家数据库提供，影响范围更广。核心储存库为海洋地质和地球物理界以及国际科学家提供有价值的服务。该资料库支持研究生、本科生和K-12学生通过课程和定期向公众开放参观设施进行学习。存储库产品通过我们的网页(http://corelab-www.oce.orst.edu))和国家地质数据中心(NGDC：http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/curator).)广泛传播
