Abstract:

The Lamont-Doherty L-DEO Deep-Sea Sample Repository D-SSR houses a collection of the most diversified as well as the largest number of different sites of deep-sea sediment cores in the world Figure 1. The material is used primarily for climate research, but also for studies such as cosmic impacts, magnetic reversals, volcanism, sea-level variations, and much more. The D-SSR has as an overall purpose to provide curatorial support for this collection of core and dredge material entrusted to us by our funding agencies and the research community. This responsibility consists of three major efforts first to expedite the curation of new material second to accommodate sampling of the material and its data by investigators within and outside Lamont-Doherty and third, preserve and rehabilitate when needed the material in such a way as to maintain its value to the research community.
