Marine Geological Samples Laboratory: Graduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island

该奖项资助了罗德岛大学海洋学研究生院海洋地质样品实验室（MGSL）正在进行的策展活动。该设施是由GSO的教职员工和学生收集的海洋地质样本的中央储存库。目前的收集包括1805个深海岩心，715个疏浚样本和767个沿海和深海抓取样本。活动包括管理新岩心和挖泥岩石样本，进一步描述现有样本，增强MGSL网站，向NGDC管理员数据库提交样本信息，对新岩心采集进行常规记录，以及向地球样本注册系统（SESAR）注册所有存储库样本。该知识库涉及各种教育和推广活动，包括实验室参观、样品借阅和K-12学生的动手练习。

This award funds ongoing curatorial activities at the Marine Geological Samples Laboratory (MGSL) of the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO), University of Rhode Island. This facility serves as the central repository for marine geological samples collected by faculty, staff, and students of the GSO. The present collection consists of 1805 deep sea cores, 715 dredge samples, and 767 coastal and deep sea grab samples. Activities include curation of new core and dredge rock samples, further description of existing samples, enhancement of the MGSL website, submittal of sample information to the NGDC curators' database, routine logging for new core acquisitions, and the registering of all repository samples with the System for Earth Sample Registration (SESAR). The repository is involved in a variety of education and outreach activities, including laboratory tours, sample loans, and hands-on exercises for K-12 students.
