Renewal of Curation of ODP Legs 150X and 174AX cores: The Rutgers Core Repository

来自科学海洋钻探的连续钻芯提供了对地球的无与伦比的洞察。罗格斯大学岩心库存档了在大洋钻探计划150X和174AX段期间获得的岩心，以及综合大洋钻探计划303/306次和国际海洋发现计划363次探险的现场勘测岩心。在150X和174AX段期间完成的钻探提供了来自沿海平原的一系列异常有据可查的连续岩心，这些岩心已成为100多种科学出版物的基础，并继续为全球海平面变化、层序地层学、盆地构造和沉积、气候变化以及地球历史上的重大事件提供见解。在罗格斯大学核心储存库获得美国国家科学基金会资助用于管理ODP腿和IODP腿期间，它被指定为官方IODP储存库；获得了额外的空间并进行了翻新？购买了两辆冷藏岩芯储存车，并建造了受气候控制的专用岩心切割和描述实验室；开发了一个网站，其中包含与消耗臭氧层物质腿的元数据、数据集和其他储存库的链接；为康涅狄格科学中心和罗格斯地质博物馆制作了展览，分发了4,000多个来自消耗臭氧层物质和IODP岩心的样品，并为科学界和一般社区提供了许多外联活动。

Continuous drill cores from scientific ocean drilling provide an unparalleled insight into the Earth. The Rutgers Core Repository archives cores obtained during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Legs 150X and 174AX, as well as site survey cores from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 303/306 and the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 363. Drilling completed during Legs 150X and 174AX has provided an exceptionally well-documented series of continuous cores from the coastal plain, which have been the basis for over 100 scientific publications and continue to contribute insights into global sea-level change, sequence stratigraphy, basin tectonics and sedimentation, climate change, and major events in Earth History. During the time period that the Rutgers Core Repository has received NSF funding for curation of ODP and IODP legs, it was designated an official IODP Repository; acquired additional space and renovated ? purchasing two refrigerated core storage vans and building climate controlled dedicated core splitting and description laboratories; developed a website which includes links to metadata, datasets, and other repositories for ODP legs; developed exhibits for the Connecticut Science Center and the Rutgers Geology Museum, distributed over 4,000 samples from ODP and IODP cores, and provided many outreach activities for both the scientific community and the community at large.
