Renewal of Curation of ODP Legs 150X and 174AX cores: The Rutgers Core Repository

项目简介：PIS请求继续为罗格斯岩芯储存库的管理、外联和数据管理活动提供部分支持，该储存库将大洋钻探方案150X和174AX段以及Expeditions 303/306现场勘测岩心获得的岩心存档。陆上钻探支队从新泽西州(NJ)和特拉华州沿海平原的14个陆上钻探地点获得了4.2公里的岩心，这是与LEGS 150(新泽西州斜坡)、174a(新泽西州斜坡和外陆架)以及综合海洋钻探计划(IODP)考察队313在新泽西州陆架进行钻探的协调努力。LEGS 150X和174AX公司的钻探提供了一系列非常有文件证明的连续岩心，这些岩心来自沿海平原，这些岩心是与美国国家科学基金会、ODP、国际大陆钻探计划、美国地质勘探局、地球钻探、观测和采样公司(S大陆地壳)以及新泽西州和特拉华州的国家地质调查局合作钻探的。这些岩心继续提供对全球海平面变化、层序地层学、盆地构造和沉积、气候变化以及地球历史上的重大事件(例如，始新世-渐新世过渡(EOT)、古新世/始新世最高温度(PETM)、白垩纪/古近纪(K/PG)和新生代/都罗纪(C/T)界线)的见解。罗格斯大学正在提供长期的存储空间材料支持，以将这些核心存档在新装修的14,000平方英尺的罗格斯核心储存库中。NSF为储存库提供了为期五年(2006-2011年)的资金，在此期间：1)被指定为官方IODP储存库；2)购买了5,000平方英尺的额外空间，从罗格斯大学获得了120万美元的翻新资金，以翻新14,000平方英尺的储存库空间，购买了一辆新的冷藏岩芯储存车，并建造了气候控制的专用岩心分裂和描述实验室；3)开发了一个网站，其中包括到ODP150X段和174AX段以及在切萨皮克湾影响构造以及大西洋和墨西哥湾沿海平原钻探的其他陆上岩芯的元数据、数据集和其他储存库的链接；4)为新的康涅狄格州科学中心和罗格斯地质博物馆开发了展览；5)分发了超过4,000个来自LEG 150X和LEG 174AX(2006-2011年)的样本，和20,000多个来自KN166-14邮轮的样本，收集了Expedition 303/306现场勘测岩芯；6)在30多所大学、超过15个公共论坛和许多国际会议上就LEG 150X/174AX岩芯进行了外联讲座；7)在GSA和AGU年会上提供了一个核心展览，作为DOSECC展台的一部分；以及8)2011年钻了威尔逊湖B孔岩心，作为LEG 174AX岩心的一部分，它将提供进入PETM和K/PG段的国际通道。私人投资机构要求为一名馆长提供三年的部分支助，并为继续和加强这些活动提供部分资金。该提案将允许私人投资机构向国家和国际科学界公布关于这些核心的信息，并鼓励继续将这些核心用于尖端科学研究。广泛影响：罗格斯核心资料库非常成功地通过罗格斯地质博物馆和康涅狄格科学中心向K-12学校和公众提供外联服务，并自2006年以来就海平面变化和K/PG边界进行了18次公开/政府陈述。这些核心在罗格斯大学的课程中占据突出地位，在许多本科生和研究生课程中都有使用。我们聘请研究生和本科生钻探和归档岩心，并于2011年钻探威尔逊湖，使用学生为钻探(包括钻探助理)、描述和归档的方方面面配备人员。我们作为IODP储存库为国际科学界服务。

BRIEF PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The PIs request continued partial support for the curation, outreach, and data management activities of the Rutgers Core Repository, which archives cores obtained by Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Legs 150X and 174AX and Expeditions 303/306 site survey cores. The onshore legs obtained 4.2 km of core from 14 sites drilled onshore in the New Jersey (NJ) and Delaware coastal plains as a coordinated effort with Legs 150 (NJ slope), 174A (NJ slope and outer shelf), and the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 313 drilling on the NJ shelf. Drilling by Legs 150X and 174AX has provided an exceptionally well-documented series of continuous cores from the coastal plain drilled in collaboration with the NSF, ODP, ICDP (International Continental Drilling Program), USGS, DOSECC (Drilling, Observation, and Sampling of the Earth?s Continental Crust), and the state geological surveys of New Jersey and Delaware. These cores continue to provide insights into global sea-level change, sequence stratigraphy, basin tectonics and sedimentation, climate change, and major events in Earth History (e.g., Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT), Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg), and Cenomanian/Turonian (C/T) boundaries). Rutgers University is providing long-term storage space materials support for archiving these cores in the newly renovated,14,000 sq ft Rutgers Core Repository. NSF funded the repository for a five year period (2006-2011) during which they: 1) were designated an official IODP repository; 2) acquired 5,000 sq ft in additional space, obtained $1.2M in renovation funds from Rutgers to renovate 14,000 sq ft of Repository space, bought a new refrigerated core storage van, and built climate-controlled dedicated core splitting and description laboratories; 3) developed a website that includes links to metadata, datasets, and other repositories for ODP Leg 150X and 174AX plus other onshore cores drilled in the Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure, and the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains; 4) developed exhibits for the new Connecticut Science Center and the Rutgers Geology Museum; 5) distributed over 4,000 samples from Legs 150X and Leg 174AX (2006-2011), and over 20,000 samples from KN166-14 cruise that collected Expedition 303/306 site survey cores; 6) gave outreach talks on Leg 150X/174AX cores at over 30 universities, over 15 public forums, and numerous international meetings; 7) provided a core exhibit as part of the DOSECC booth at GSA and AGU annual meetings; and 8) drilled the Wilson Lake Hole B corehole in 2011 that will provide international access to PETM and K/Pg sections as part of Leg 174AX. The PIs request three years of funding for partial support of a Curator and partial funds to continue and enhance these activities. The proposal will allow the PIs to promulgate information on these cores to the national and international scientific communities and to encourage the continued use of these cores for cutting-edge scientific research.Broader Impact: The Rutgers Core Repository has been very successful in providing outreach to K-12 schools and the public through the Rutgers Geology Museum and the Connecticut Science Center and over 18 public/governmental presentations since 2006 on sea-level change and the K/Pg boundary. The cores figure prominently in the Rutgers University curriculum where there are used in numerous undergraduate and graduate courses. We engage graduate and undergraduate students in drilling and archiving the cores and drilled Wilson Lake in 2011 using students to staff all aspects of drilling (including drillers assistants), description, and archiving. We serve the international scientific community as an IODP repository.
