Description

The Oregon State University Marine Geology Repository (OSU-MGR) is located in the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). The OSU-MGR is a National Science Foundation (NSF) supported curation facility for marine rock and sediment samples. The OSU-MGR contains over 41,000 cubic feet of refrigerated space and 1,100 cubic feet of -25 degrees C cold storage and is well equipped for preservation and distribution of marine geological samples for scientific research and education. The OSU-MGR is a partner in the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) database. As a partner repository, OSU sends data and information related to the OSU sample collection to NCEI for long-term archive, and for discoverability via the IMLGS.
