Continued Curation of the Antarctic Core Collection in the OSU/CEOAS Marine and Geology Repository

俄勒冈州立大学地球、海洋和大气科学学院于1971年建立了海洋和地质资料库(OSU-MGR)，作为NSF赞助的社区设施。50多年来，海洋科学研究所的使命一直是存档和分发沉积物岩芯、岩石、结核和沉积物圈闭样品的地质样品和相关元数据，这些样品是作为研究巡航的一部分收集的，用于研究和教育。自2019年以来，随着NSF南极岩芯采集的扩大，这一采集范围扩大了，包括来自94个地点的5283个岩心的15429米海洋沉积物和7603米的钻探岩芯。通过在连续制冷下对岩石和沉积物进行高质量的存档，这些独一无二的材料被保存下来供科学界使用。在过去的30年里，超过19万个样本被分发给了美国和世界各地的科学家、教育工作者和博物馆。到目前为止，在机会、能力和社区需求的推动下，OSU-MGR扩大了其任务范围，包括从实地项目捕获的数据，在OSU-MGR实验室内获取高质量的非破坏性数据并按要求存档和分发，以及一系列教育产品，从参观到本科生和研究生课程，到本科生暑期研究体验(REU)项目和暑期学校。OSU-MGR雇佣了四名策展人和一名软件工程顾问，以及一群来自不同背景的本科生工作者，他们提供了广泛的经验和机会。OSU-MGR南极岩芯采集库(ACC)包括来自96个地点的5,200多个岩心的约15,500米海洋沉积物和9,000米钻探岩心，其中包括大型钻探项目，如南极钻探项目(ANDRILL)、罗伯茨角项目(CRP)、西罗斯海新生代调查项目(Ciros)、干谷钻探项目(DVDP)。随着海洋科学部海洋地质和地球物理项目的授予，该项目将继续并扩大OSU-MGR作为国家储存库的运作。目标包括继续履行主要储存库职责(例如，样本采集、保管、编目、元数据管理、质量保证和控制、请求和加入等)。并在一系列长期目标上取得进展，例如：(1)继续开发OSU-MGR应用程序、数据库和网站，以改善对社区的服务，包括虚拟能力、数据获取和访问以及远程采样。(2)通过开发由EarthCube资助的新的嘉年华核心数据储存库(CDR)，从船上和储存库来源收集、捕获和提供非破坏性数据，增加OSU-MGR收集的价值并增强研究界的能力。(3)通过在研究生、本科生、K-12班、REU项目、暑期学校和雇用来自不同背景的本科生工作者中使用OSU-MGR库来支持教学、培训和学习，以及通过向公众开放该设施以供参观、开放参观和演讲。行政协调会资料库的产品通过OSU-MGR网站和国家数据库(国家环境信息中心；核心数据资料库，CDR)广泛传播。OSU-MGR在线数据存储库将通过将样本数据链接到包括DOI、ORCID、IGSN、R2R探险ID在内的唯一标识符来实现可公平查找、可访问、可互操作、可重现。今后五年的具体行动包括：(1)完成向OSU-MGR应用程序和数据库中的元数据转移，随后将行政协调会转移到OSU-MGR中并进行必要的重建。(2)通过OSU-MGR Web界面全面管理样本请求工作流。(3)设置OSU-MGR App以供将来在其他存储库重复使用，同时与Lamont-Doherty存储库合作安装该软件以供其使用。(4)使用OSU-MGR App改进并自动向NSF报告年度数据。(5)建立从OSU-MGR App到CDR在线数据仓库的数据管道，用于MST、CT和XRF传感器扫描数据。(5)与IODP合作组织了三个OSU-MGR南极暑期学校，为20-30名来自美国和世界各地的研究生、博士后和职业早期科学家提供服务。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences at Oregon State University established the Marine and Geology Repository (OSU-MGR) in 1971 as an NSF-sponsored community facility. For more than 50 years the mission of the OSU-MGR has remained to archive and distribute geological samples and associated metadata from sediment cores, rocks, nodules, and sediment trap samples collected as part of research cruises, for research and education. Since 2019, this collection has been expanded with the NSF’s Antarctic Core Collection including 15,429 m of marine sediments from 5,283 cores and 7,603 m of drill core from 94 sites. Through high quality archiving of rocks and sediment under continuous refrigeration, these one-of-a-kind materials are preserved for the scientific community. Over the past 30 years, more than 190,000 samples have been distributed to scientists, educators, and museums throughout the United States and around the world. To date, driven by opportunities, capabilities, and community needs, OSU-MGR has expanded its mandate to include data captured from field programs, the acquisition of high-quality non-destructive data within the OSU-MGR laboratories that are archived and distributed upon request, and a range of educational products from tours to undergraduate and graduate courses to summer Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) programs, and summers schools. The OSU-MGR employs four curators and a software engineering consultant, as well as a cohort of undergraduate student workers from diverse backgrounds that provide a wide range of experiences and opportunities. The OSU-MGR Antarctic core collection (ACC) consists of approximately 15,500 m of marine sediments from more than 5,200 cores and 9,000 m of drill core from 96 sites, including large drilling programs such as the Antarctic Drilling Project (ANDRILL), Cape Roberts Project (CRP), Cenozoic Investigation in the Western Ross Sea (CIROS), Dry Valley Drilling Project (DVDP). Along with an accompanying award by Marine Geology & Geophysics program of the Division of Ocean Sciences, this project will continue and expand the operation of OSU-MGR as a national repository. Objectives include the continuation of primary repository duties (e.g., sample acquisition, curation, cataloging, metadata management, quality assurance and control, requests and accessions, etc.) and also to make progress on series of long-term objectives, such as: (1) The continued development of the OSU-MGR App, database, and website to improve services to the community, including virtual capabilities, data acquisition and access, and remote sampling. (2) Collect, capture, and serve non-destructive data from both shipboard and repository sources with the development of the new FIESTA Core Data Repository (CDR) funded through EarthCube, adding value to the OSU-MGR collections and empowering the research community. (3) Support teaching, training, and learning through use of the OSU-MGR repository in graduate, undergraduate, K-12 classes, REU programs, summers schools, and employing undergraduate student workers from diverse backgrounds, as well as by opening the facility to the general public for tours, open houses, and presentations. Products from the ACC Repository are disseminated widely through the OSU-MGR website and national databases (National Center for Environmental Information, NCEI; Core Data Repository, CDR). The OSU-MGR online data repository will be FAIR—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible—by linking sample data to unique identifiers including DOI, ORCID, IGSN, R2R Expedition IDs. Specific actions for the next five years include: (1) Finalizing the metadata transfer into OSU-MGR App and database following the transfer and needed recuration of the ACC into the OSU-MGR. (2) Fully managing the sample request workflow through the OSU-MGR web interface. (3) Setting up the OSU-MGR App for future re-use at other repositories while working together with the Lamont-Doherty repository to install this software for their use. (4) Improving and automating annual data reporting to NSF using the OSU-MGR App. (5) Creating a data pipeline from the OSU-MGR App into the CDR online data repository for MST, CT and XRF sensor scanning data. (5) Organizing three OSU-MGR Antarctic Summer Schools in collaboration with IODP to serve between 20-30 participants who are graduate students, post-docs and early-career scientists from within the U.S. and worldwide.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
