AbstractThis award supports the United States Polar Rock Repository (USPRR). The repository houses a research collection of geologic samples from Antarctica and the Arctic, along with associated materials such as field notes, photographs, maps, analytical data, paleomagnetic cores, thin sections, and microfossil mounts. It provides open access to these samples for researchers and collects legacy collections from institutions across the US. The USPRR integrates geologic and geophysical data from cataloged samples where possible, and maintains online sample, map, and rock physical property databases accessible via the world-wide-web. The broader impacts of the facility include new research infrastructure, improving planning for polar research, and providing information for educators and children to learn about polar geology via the website and facility tours.

AbstractThis award supports the United States Polar Rock Repository（USPRR）.该储存库收藏了来自南极洲和北极的地质样本的研究收藏，沿着还有相关的材料，如野外记录、照片、地图、分析数据、古地磁核、薄片和微体化石。它为研究人员提供了对这些样本的开放访问，并从美国各地的机构收集了遗产收藏。USPRR尽可能整合来自编目样本的地质和地球物理数据，并维护可通过万维网访问的在线样本、地图和岩石物理性质数据库。该设施的更广泛影响包括新的研究基础设施，改善极地研究的规划，并为教育工作者和儿童提供信息，通过网站和设施图尔斯了解极地地质。
