Archiving and Advancing Core Curation and Database Management of ODP Legs 150X and 174AX cores: The Rutgers U.S. Atlantic Margin Core Repository

该提案旨在为海洋钻井项目分支150X和174AX获得的岩心的持续管理、推广和数据管理活动寻求资金。罗格斯核心储存库已被指定为官方综合海洋钻探计划储存库，目前正在存档这些核心和其他来自新泽西沿海地区的混合基金收集的核心。罗格斯大学承诺为核心存储库提供支持，其中包括提供设施维护和改进。更广泛的影响该提案概述了一项相当大的推广工作，以宣传150X和174AX系列海洋钻探计划核心的可用性，供科学界使用。此外，还将与罗格斯地质博物馆开展合作，通过有关核心储存库的博物馆展览，向公众提供科学家和有关核心的信息。最后，将为K-12外展开发一个网页。

Intellectual MeritThis proposal seeks funds for continued curation, outreach, and data management activities for cores obtained on Ocean Drilling Program Legs 150X and 174AX. The Rutgers Core Repository has been designated an official Integrated Ocean Drilling Program repository and is currently archiving these cores and others from the New Jersey coastal region that were collected with co-mingled funds. Rutgers University has committed to providing support to the Core Repository, which includes providing facility maintenance and improvements.Broader ImpactsThe proposal outlines a considerable outreach effort to advertise the availability of Ocean Drilling Program cores from Legs 150X and 174AX for use by the scientific community. In addition, collaborations will be developed with the Rutgers Geology Museum to provide the public access to scientists and information on the cores through museum exhibits about the Core Repository. Finally a web page will be developed for K-12 outreach.
