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) Antarctic Core Collection (ACC)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:28 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 17, 2022 at 12:00 AM
The Antarctic Core Collection (ACC) is a part of the Oregon State University Marine and Geology Repository (OSU-MGR). The 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 may also send 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 an NSF funded repository that hosts the OSU Marine Geology and Geophysics collection and the ACC. The collections include more than 24 miles of oceanic sediment cores and tens of thousands of marine rock specimens that provide scientists an archive of Earth’s history, including changes in climate, biology, volcanic and seismic activity, meteorite interactions and more. The facility is well equipped to run major sampling parties, research programs, and educational endeavors. Laboratory space is available for analytical activities including scanning tracks for physical properties and elemental analyses.
