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

俄勒冈州州立大学的地球、海洋和大气科学学院于1971年建立了海洋和地质储存库（OSU-MGR），作为NSF赞助的社区设施。50多年来，大洋州立大学海洋和自然资源保护区的使命一直是将地质样品和相关元数据存档和分发，这些样品来自作为研究航行一部分收集的沉积岩芯、岩石、结核和沉积物圈闭样品，用于研究和教育。自2019年以来，该系列已扩大到NSF的南极岩心系列，包括来自5，283个岩心的15，429米海洋沉积物和来自94个地点的7，603米钻孔岩心。通过在连续冷藏条件下对岩石和沉积物进行高质量存档，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190，000个样本被分发给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，由机会，能力和社区需求的驱动下，OSU-MGR已扩大其任务，包括从现场项目捕获的数据，在OSU-MGR实验室内存档和应要求分发的高质量非破坏性数据的获取，以及一系列教育产品，从图尔斯到本科生和研究生课程，到本科生暑期研究经验（REU）计划和暑期学校。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南极岩心集（ACC）包括来自5，200多个岩心的约15，500米海洋沉积物和来自96个地点的9，000米岩心，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（CIROS），干谷钻探项目（DVDP）。沿着的是海洋科学司海洋地质地球物理方案的奖励，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存储库职责（例如，样本采集、管理、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，包括虚拟功能、数据采集和访问以及远程采样。(2)通过EarthCube资助的新FIESTA核心数据库（CDR）的开发，从船上和存储库来源收集，捕获和提供非破坏性数据，为OSU-MGR收集增加价值并增强研究社区的能力。(3)支持教学，培训，并通过在研究生，本科生，K-12类，REU计划，暑期学校使用OSU-MGR存储库学习，并雇用来自不同背景的本科学生工作者，以及通过向公众开放设施进行图尔斯，开放日和演示。ACC储存库的产品通过OSU-MGR网站和国家数据库（国家环境信息中心，NCEI;核心数据储存库，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唯一标识符（包括DOI、ORCID、IGSN、R2 R Expedition ID），实现公平查找、可扩展、可互操作、可复制。未来五年的具体行动包括：（1）在ACC转移到OSU-MGR并需要重新维护之后，完成将元数据转移到OSU-MGR应用程序和数据库。(2)通过OSU-MGR Web界面全面管理样品请求工作流程。(3)设置OSU-MGR应用程序，以便将来在其他存储库中重复使用，同时与Lamont-Doherty存储库一起安装此软件供其使用。(4)使用OSU-MGR应用程序改进并自动化向NSF提交的年度数据报告。（5）创建从OSU-MGR应用程序到CDR在线数据存储库的数据管道，用于MST、CT和XRF传感器扫描数据。(5)与IODP合作组织三个OSU-MGR南极暑期学校，为来自美国和世界各地的20-30名研究生，博士后和早期职业科学家提供服务。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
