The LDEO Deep-Sea Repository and the Curating and Maintenance of the Sediment Library and Dredge Collection

已提供资金，以继续运作LDGO样本储存库，并使社区能够更好地获取海底材料和相关信息。主要目标是管理和维护现有的和不断增加的收藏品，并通过纳入珊瑚样本扩大沉积物档案的范围。进一步的改进将包括通过离散沉积物测量和非破坏性扫描方法产生基本数据。通过数字样品管理系统和扩展的数据挖掘能力来改进数字数据管理和访问也是一个目标。储藏室岩心是深海勘探、地质灾害、海洋地质学、构造学、沉积学、地球化学、演化和古气候的重要研究材料。从旧的和新的材料收集的数据是，并将是新的解释导致在过去十年中发表的数百个高调和有影响力的文章，在领先的期刊来源。更广泛的影响：知识库继续参与许多教育活动。它参加了星期六的教育工作者讲习班，教师可以积累多达15个小时的新教师发展学分。该仓库举办了许多访问研究生和本科生课程，实验室非常适合从采集到处理的沉积物课堂研讨会。该计划包括雇用本科生和高中生担任研究型职位。知识库及其工作人员还将继续为教育工作者和媒体提供向公众传播科学的机会

Funds are provided to continue the operation of the LDGO Sample Repository and allow better community access to both sea floor materials and related information. Curation and maintenance of the existing and growing collection and expansion of the range of sedimentary archives by inclusion of coral samples are the main objectives. Further enhancement will include the generation of basic data by discrete sediment measurements as well as nondestructive scanning methods. Improvement of the digital data management and access with the Digital Sample Curation System and an expanded data mining ability is also a goal. The repository cores form important research materials for deep-sea exploration, geological hazards, marine geology, tectonics, sedimentology, geochemistry, evolution, and paleoclimate. Data from old and new materials in the collection were and will be the source for novel interpretations resulting in hundreds of high-profile and influential articles published during the past decade, in leading journals. Broader Impacts: The Repository continues to be involved in many educational activities. It participates in Saturday Workshops for Educators where teachers can accrue up to 15 hours of new teacher staff development credits. The Repository hosts many visiting graduate and undergraduate classes and the lab is well suited for class seminars on sediments from acquisition to processing. The plan includes employing undergraduates and high school students in research-oriented positions. The repository and its staff will also continue to be available to educators and the media for opportunities to disseminate science to the general public
