Curatorial Stewardship of the Antarctic and the Southern Ocean National Collection of Rock and Sediment Cores at the OSU Marine and Geology Repository

从1963年起，佛罗里达州立大学就开始收藏南极岩心，这是世界上最珍贵的岩心之一。美国首屈一指的海洋地质收藏。由不可替代的沉积物岩心组成，这个档案极大地促进了对地球系统的理解，过去和现在，并将对未来的地球研究至关重要。考虑到俄勒冈州立大学？美国俄勒冈州立大学（OSU）在海洋研究方面的领导地位，以及通过俄勒冈州立大学海洋和地质储存库提供最先进的管理服务的长期记录，该设施将在未来几十年内为南极核心藏品提供世界级的管理。南极核心收集将与俄勒冈州立大学目前的收集在一个单一的现代化储存库和分析设施中共同安置和共同管理。联合收集将包含来自世界各地的30多公里的冷藏沉积物岩心。俄勒冈州立大学于2009年购买了33,000 SFT的新设施，并于2016-17年进行了升级。整个冷藏空间可以舒适地容纳两个收藏品，并有至少五十年的扩展空间。这两个收藏的共同定位和共同管理，加上一套现代化的分析设施，将导致更大的合作，思想的交叉授粉，并为日益依赖海洋沉积物的日益增长的用户群体提供增强的技术服务和能力。该设施将采用全面的社区互动计划，利用新的俄勒冈州立大学海洋和地质储存库大楼，拥有32人的研讨室，1,044平方英尺的大型核心实验室，以及10个相邻的分析实验室，这将为学生，公众和地球科学研究界提供科学和体验式学习机会。该设施将组织小组会议、抽样派对和暑期学校，通过在研究生、本科生和K-12班和本科生项目的研究经验中使用存储库，补充对教学、培训和学习的持续支持。储存库向一般公众开放，供参观和介绍，从该设施获得的数据产品将通过储存库网站http://osu-mgr.org/和其他国家数据库传播。技术描述目前位于佛罗里达州立大学的南极和南大洋国家岩石和沉积物岩心收集将搬迁到俄勒冈州立大学（OSU），并与OSU海洋和地质储存库一起安置。俄勒冈州立大学的调查人员将共同管理南极核心收集和海洋和地质储存库，作为一个单一的现代储存库和分析设施。合并后的收藏将被安置在一个新的33,000平方英尺的建筑中，该建筑带有冷藏空间，可以容纳两个收藏，并拥有大约50年的扩展空间。这两个藏品的共同定位和共同管理提供了独特的策展协同效应，节省了成本，并提高了能力，以支持更广泛的海洋和南极社区的研究和教育需求。该设施将容纳一个32人的研讨室，一个1044平方英尺的大型核心实验室，允许布局，检查和检查核心，以及相邻的分析实验室，将为学生提供定量分析和体验式学习机会。

Nontechnical DescriptionThe Antarctic core collection, curated at Florida State University since 1963, is one of the world?s premier marine geology collections. Consisting of irreplaceable sediment cores, this archive has greatly advanced the understanding of the Earth system, past and present, and will remain critical to future studies of the Earth. Given Oregon State University?s (OSU) leadership in marine research and long track record providing state-of-the-art curatorial services through the OSU Marine and Geology Repository, this facility will provide world-class curatorial stewardship of the Antarctic core collection for decades to come. The Antarctic core collection will be co-located and co-managed with the current OSU collection in a single modern repository and analytical facility. The combined collection will contain more than 30 km of refrigerated sediment core from the world?s oceans and will be housed in a new 33,000 SFT facility purchased in 2009 by OSU and upgraded in 2016-17. The total refrigerated space can hold both collections comfortably and has at least five decades of expansion space.The co-location and co-management of these two collections, paired with a modern suite of analytical facilities, will lead to greater collaboration, cross-pollination of ideas, and availability of enhanced technical services and capabilities for a growing user group that increasingly relies on marine sediments. The facility will employ a comprehensive community interaction plan that takes advantage of the new OSU Marine and Geology Repository building with a 32-person seminar room, its large 1,044 square foot core lab, and ten adjoining analytical laboratories, which will provide scientific and experiential learning opportunities for students, the general public, and the Earth Sciences research community. The facility will organize small group meetings, sampling parties and summer schools that will complement ongoing support for teaching, training and learning through the use of the repository in graduate, undergraduate, and K-12 classes and Research Experience for Undergraduate programs. The repository is open to the general public for tours and presentations, and the data products derived from the facility will be disseminated via the repository website at http://osu-mgr.org/ and other national databases.Technical DescriptionThe Antarctic and the Southern Ocean National Collection of Rock and Sediment Cores currently housed at Florida State University will be relocated to Oregon State University (OSU) and housed along with the OSU Marine and Geology Repository. Oregon State University investigators will co-manage the Antarctic core collection and the Marine and Geology Repository as a single modern repository and analytical facility. The combined collection will be housed a new 33,000 square foot building with refrigerated space that can hold both collections with approximately five decades of expansion space. The co-location and co-management of these two collections offers unique curatorial synergies, cost savings, and improved capabilities to support both the research and educational needs of a wider marine and Antarctic communities. The facility will house a 32-person seminar room, a large 1,044 square foot core lab that allows layout, inspection and examination of cores, and adjoining analytical laboratories that will provide quantitative analysis as well as experiential learning opportunities for students.
