Archive of Geosample Data and Information from the Oregon State University (OSU) College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) Marine and Geology Repository (MGR)
The Oregon State University Marine and Geology Repository (OSU-MGR) is a partner in
the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database, contributing
information to the IMLGS to help researchers discover geological samples curated in
their facility. The partner repository sends related data, documents, and imagery
to NCEI for long-term archive, but the originating institution is the definitive source
of information related to their sample collection. The OSU-MGR is located in the College
of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). It is a National Science Foundation
(NSF) supported curation facility for marine rock and sediment samples. The facility
contains over 10,900 square feet of refrigerated space and a 550 square foot walk
in freezer of -20 degrees F cold storage and is well equipped for preservation and
distribution of marine geological samples for scientific research and education.

Supplemental Information |
The marine sediment and rock collection at the Oregon State University Marine and
Geology Repository (OSU-MGR) comes from all oceans. As of 2021, the OSU-MGR contains
over 15,200 meters of marine sediment from over 6,600 cores, over 560 meters of lake
sediment from 199 core sites, more than 14,600 rocks from over 529 dredges, 365 rocks
from 187 NOAA ROV dives, 528 Manganese Nodules and 1,600 sediment trap samples. In
recent years, the OSU-MGR has distributed about 8,000 samples per year to scientists
throughout the world. Additional related data and information are available directly
from the contributing institution, which is the authoritative and most current source
of data and information related to their sample collection. The IMLGS contains a subset
of summary metadata from the institutional database. Dr. Hans Schroeder, former OSU
Curator, participated in the design of the original IMLGS. Dr. Richard Roberts, former
University of Washington (UW) Curator, also participated in the design of the original
IMLGS. The UW collection was transferred to OSU when the UW repository closed.
|
Purpose | The mission of the OSU-MGR is to facilitate research, education, and the advancement of scientific knowledge through access and preservation of their diverse collection of rock, lake, and marine sediment samples from around the world?s oceans, including the Arctic and the Southern Oceans. |

Lineage Statement | Data are received by NCEI on an intermittent basis from the repository. Incoming data are checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI adds IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and may perform cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies. NCEI informs the originator upon ingest of data to the IMLGS database, after which the originator provides one final quality control using the IMLGS map viewer. Data may also be updated/corrected at any time, at the originator's request. |
