The University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography
(SIO) is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS)
database, contributing information about SIO Geologcial Collections to the IMLGS to
help researchers discover marine geosamples curated by SIO. The SIO partner repository
also 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. SIO Geological Collections are a physical library of priceless
geological samples that come from the seafloor and subseafloor of the world?s oceans.
The Scripps Core Collection contains nearly 7,000 cores. Dredged rocks in the collection
consist of more than 4,000 dredge hauls and related archive materials. |
