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

科学海洋钻探的连续岩心提供了对地球无与伦比的洞察。罗格斯大学岩心储存库存档了海洋钻探计划（ODP） 150X和174AX阶段获得的岩心，以及综合海洋钻探计划（IODP）远征303/306和国际海洋发现计划远征363的现场调查岩心。在150X和174AX期间完成的钻探工作提供了一系列记录非常完整的沿海平原连续岩心，这些岩心已成为100多篇科学出版物的基础，并继续为全球海平面变化、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提供见解。在罗格斯大学核心存储库获得美国国家科学基金会资助管理ODP和IODP分支的期间，它被指定为官方IODP存储库；获得了额外的空间并进行了翻新？采购两辆冷冻堆芯贮存车，建设气候控制专用堆芯拆分和描述实验室；开发了一个网站，其中包括ODP分支的元数据、数据集和其他存储库的链接；为康涅狄格科学中心和罗格斯地质博物馆举办了展览，分发了4000多个ODP和IODP岩心样本，并为科学界和广大社区提供了许多推广活动。

Continuous drill cores from scientific ocean drilling provide an unparalleled insight into the Earth. The Rutgers Core Repository archives cores obtained during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Legs 150X and 174AX, as well as site survey cores from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expeditions 303/306 and the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 363. Drilling completed during Legs 150X and 174AX has provided an exceptionally well-documented series of continuous cores from the coastal plain, which have been the basis for over 100 scientific publications and continue to contribute insights into global sea-level change, sequence stratigraphy, basin tectonics and sedimentation, climate change, and major events in Earth History. During the time period that the Rutgers Core Repository has received NSF funding for curation of ODP and IODP legs, it was designated an official IODP Repository; acquired additional space and renovated ? purchasing two refrigerated core storage vans and building climate controlled dedicated core splitting and description laboratories; developed a website which includes links to metadata, datasets, and other repositories for ODP legs; developed exhibits for the Connecticut Science Center and the Rutgers Geology Museum, distributed over 4,000 samples from ODP and IODP cores, and provided many outreach activities for both the scientific community and the community at large.
