Description

The Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility (AMGRF) maintains a national repository for geological materials collected in polar regions. It is supported by an operational grant from the National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs (Grant Number 0838901). The Facility houses over 20,000 meters of deep-sea core sediment and over 5,000 kg of dredge, trawl, and grab samples, the largest such Southern Ocean collection in the world. These materials have been acquired from over 90 USAP research vessel cruises. The Facility also houses and curates nearly 3,000 meters of rotary cored geological material acquired by NSF supported drilling programs in the Antarctic. The AMGRF is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database. As a partner repository the AMGRF sends data and information related to their geological collection to NCEI for long-term archive, and for discoverability via the IMLGS.
