This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The proposal requests operating funds to continue supporting the Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility (AMGRF) at Florida State University, the largest repository of Southern Ocean piston cores in the world. The Facility has been receiving, describing, and archiving cores for the past 48 years, at the same time supporting extensive marine geological research. The services and programs provided by the Facility include: (a) numerous technical services to the Antarctic and Earth Science investigators to work with the stored cores and samples; (b) archiving and curating more than 21,000 m of cored sediments and more than 5,000 kg of sea bottom samples collected by the U.S. Antarctic Program vessels; (c) maintaining the core and sample database covering the period from 1944 to present that is accessible via the Facility's Web site, and (d) services and equipment for the benefit of the Antarctic marine geology research community. Continued reliance on students' involvement in the Facility operation and research provides a broader impact and firmly grounds this effort in its educational mission.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该提案要求提供业务资金，继续支持佛罗里达州立大学的南极海洋地质研究设施，该设施是世界上最大的南大洋活塞岩心存放处。该设施在过去48年中一直在接收、描述和存档岩心，同时支持广泛的海洋地质研究。该设施提供的服务和方案包括：（a）向南极和地球科学调查人员提供许多技术服务，以便他们处理储存的岩心和样本;（B）对美国南极方案船只收集的21 000多米深的岩心沉积物和5 000多公斤海底样本进行存档和管理;（c）维持1944年至今的岩心和样本数据库，可通过该设施的网址查阅;（d）为南极海洋地质研究界提供服务和设备。继续依靠学生参与该设施的运作和研究，产生了更广泛的影响，并在其教育使命中坚定地支持这一努力。
